Do You Use Listia (an update of sorts)?!

Over the last two weeks, I've begun to dabble in the website known as Listia.  Essentially, Listia is a site that functions as a "free" eBay.  You put stuff on the site to sell in order to get credits.  Then the credits you can spend to get other stuff.  In some ways, it's best described as a bartering site (though with multiple vendors rather than one-on-one).

Anyhow, by signing up for the site you get 500 credits for free (which means you can get stuff for free without ever giving away any information or cash)!  If you sign up with the link that I put in above (or here), you get an additional 100 credits (and I get credits if you complete your first auction - win win for each of us)!

I've decided to see if I can make the site work for me though - I've listed a few cards that probably wouldn't sell on eBay but have sold (or gotten bids) on Listia.  Quite honestly, since people get 500 credits for free when they sign up, if you keep your auction under the 500 credit limit (and offer free shipping), there's really no reason for someone to not bid on your stuff!

If you happen to use Listia already, shoot me your user name and I can add you as a fan (since that's the way Listia encourages people I guess).  I'm also curious as to other people's stories with the website (good or bad).  Finally, Listia also provides a widget that you can add to your blogs for all your Listia auctions - which I have added to the sidebar of my blog.  I hope to see you on the site, maybe we can turn it into the best place for baseball cards and thus avoid eBay's plethora of fees!

So far, I've heard from the following people who use the site:

  4. I've been on there a bunch lately and have kind of forgot about blogging.

    Maybe I better slow down over there.

    It's also easy to customize the Listia widget but it won't let you change that white background. It doesn't really mesh well on my site.

  5. I use it to get rid of stuff nobody else wants. Got any 80s starts? They are gold on Listia. Stuff like 82 Pete Rose and and Conseco go for way more credits than you would ever imagine.
