For over six months or more, I have been using Listia. I discovered it last year and I’ve been using it actively ever since.
What I like the most about this site is that it’s like going into a garage sale and bidding on the items you want the most. Most of it used stuff, but you don’t end up paying a dime if you win – at the most you’ll pay shipping. Plus, you can gain more points by putting your own stuff for bidding (or pay for points $5.00 gives you 1,500 credits).
Now what exactly do you win?
Okay, here’s photos (taken from the site) of actual stuff I’ve won –
I won the movie Mr. Books for 500 credits, no shipping costs. Worked perfectly. |
And that is just the beginning! More recently I won these really pretty wine glasses (499 credits; $3.70 in shipping) and a used DVD player (2,020 credits; $10 shipping) just for the cost of shipping (and I purchased additional credits recently – one $5.00 worth; and one $10 worth of credits).
I think if you are looking for an item in particular, you would do best with this site. Looking around for just anything, you will get overwhelmed, I promise.
It isn’t like there isn’t crap out there either. I won a “mystery” prize which turned out to be an envelope with a couple of stickers in it. I also won a sync cord for my iPhone which fell apart in a couple of weeks. I also tried entering a few of the low credit perfume sample giveaways which had astronomical shipping costs, and I didn’t follow through with them.
But I seriously think it’s worth a shot, so sign up for Listia today! Use this referral link and get 100 credits (and I get credits if you sign up!).
Hello, Nicole! I haven't heard of this site. I've been spring cleaning and getting rid of stuff, so I definitely don't want to temp myself and accumulate more things, LoL. It sounds cool, though. Good luck!
Happy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
I've never heard of Listia. It sounds very interesting, but I'm not sure I should check it out. I'm trying to de-clutter. 🙂
