Listia

I've been having fun with Listia this week. I'm in cleaning mode at my house, and we're working on organizing the basement area and seeing what we need to keep as our children get older.

Listia works based on credits, so you list auctions and buyers bid on them with credits instead of real money. Of course, you can buy credits from the Listia site if you prefer. Shipping may or may not be free - each seller decides that and clearly posts it in the auction.

So I've found joke and riddle books (without ISBN's or I'd list them on PaperbackSwap), purses and wristlets, cell phone cases, gift sacks (that I'd had when I was a room and den mother), LOTS of discontinued cosmetic samples, and we're just getting started.

I have a big plastic bin in my "office", so as long as the items will fit in it, I'll store them until I'm ready to list them for the auction.

Yes, the link is my referral link. For a limited time, I would get 500 credits for every friend who joins and successfully completes their first listing. You would also get 100 bonus credits as a special gift when you join!
