Okay, so I have plenty of addictions. And most are healthy. None are illegal. But right now, I'm just loving Listia. It's sort of a mix between Freecycle and eBay. The Freecycle mix is that everything is free (though you may have to pay shipping sometimes--more on that in a minute). The eBay mix is that you bid! But you bid with credits, not money.
The only time money is involved is if a person requires you pay shipping on an auction. And that's something you'll know before you even bid. But most auctions (okay, the ones I view) offer free shipping!
Earning credits is easy also. You just list your own items! And you can either offer free shipping, or charge the winner the shipping fee. It's up to you. They also start you off with some credits. When you join Listia via THIS LINK, you'll start with between 100 and 400 credits. You don't lose credits for being inactive. You won't lose them for doing searches. The only time you "lose" credits is if you win an auction. Oh something else that's nice, when you are viewing an auction, it will tell you how many credits you have to bid on that item. Very handy if you're currently winning another auction.
You can find all sorts of stuff on Listia. Movies, games (board, outdoor, computer--all sorts), greeting cards, collectibles, shoes, clothes, cosmetics, pet supplies, coupons for FREE products (not the ones that require a purchase to get the free item), school supplies, gaming systems, cell phones...EVEN GIFT CARDS!
The gift cards are awesome. People offer them for all sorts of stores, and at varying values. Some will just be "change" left over ($1.36 Walmart gift card is an example). I've even seen some with a value over $100!!! But be warned, if you're just signing up you'll have a hard time winning one of those right off. They tend to go for tons of credits (usually between 5,000 and 20,000+). But like I said, it's easy to earn. Just list some things you've been meaning to get rid of anyways. Browse around if you're not sure.
So what are you waiting for? Why not sign up? It's totally free. You won't get spam email from there, or any members. Any credits you earn stay there until you spend them (and win).
Ok, I'm going to go there now. I need more box tops (ya know, the ones you turn in to your child's school).
Signed,
Super Mom
