Game Trade?

captain_slinkyI have two awesome games in my game closet that I need to admit, I'm never going to get around to playing. I bought them with full and good intention, but now that they've been in the game closet for over 4 months I've just kind of lost enthusiasm for them, and am more enthusiastic for some other games I have recently seen.
First up is the A Game Of Thrones Card Game Core Set.
Recommended to me as being the third best CCG of all time. From what I've heard (and this may be wrong), this game was released as a CCG back during the CCG boom of the 90's, based on the books. Like 99.999%of the CCG's released at that time, this game tanked pretty quickly. SO instead of just clearing out their inventory, they repackaged the whole thing in to a boxed game with a play mat and game pieces and full sets of those formerly "collectible" cards. And now thanks to the popularity of the HBO series, the game is taking off rather well! Expansions are "Chapters", new box sets are "Books", and it all starts right here with the Core Set. Four preconstructed-yet-customizeable decks, play mat and game pieces. Looks awesome, I just never got around to playing it :( RETAIL VALUE: $30 to $40, I paid $49 at a local shop.
And next I have Thunderstone: Dragonspire
Technically a stand-alone expansion to the "Thunderstone" line of deck building games. Was sold to me as "Almost exactly like Dominion, only with an Adventure aspect thrown in". Having watched gameplay videos online, yeah... it's Dominion only with the fact that the deck you are building will then be USED for SOMETHING other than just having had built a deck of cards. Pretty neat, and of the two games this one is the one I am most likely to play if I get bored. RETAIL PRICE: $45 to $60 shipped, I paid $35 at a local shop during a Going Out Of Business Sale.
So I'm looking to trade these to another gamer. Anyone interested? I would like to trade these for either 7 Wonders, Small World, Pathfinder Core Rule Book or... I dunno... what else?
