Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying this is one of my more "laid back" entries to this blog & I won't be using too much Japanese just so I can get the message through to everyone.
See that logo above? the one with the pretty colors--yeah that's the one. LISTIA!!!! (Lis-tee-ya)
What is Listia?
Listia.com is a FREE auction web-site that strays from the traditional Ebay set-up.
Yep, I said FREE, as in no $$ necessary.
Unlike Ebay, which takes a percentage of every sale you make through auction or the BIN (Buy It Now) option, Listia is completely and totally FREE. I can go on about it but why don't you just watch this video about it here--
So here's how it works--
Say you've got some shit laying around your house that you don't need anymore, but some part of your soul refuses to throw it away because secretly you're a pack rat. Instead of throwing it out, why not put it up for auction on Listia & make some CREDITS.
Yes that's right--CREDITS. Move over sci-fi, the future is here! Listia runs on its own micro-economy of non-cash and instead uses a system of credits, hence the whole bit about it being a FREE auction website. Once you get some credits, you can use them to shop for other things you want or things you can actually use. It's AWESOME!!!
For example, I've been selling comics & video games online since I was 17 but was always annoyed that websites like Ebay & Amazon would take an 8-10% cut of all my sales. Listia takes NOTHING so you get all the credits you earned for an auction.
It's free to post an auction, free to customize it to your liking, and the credits you receive go to you, not to Listia.
With comics alone, I've been able to make hundreds of thousands of credits on Listia. You also have the option to buy 400 credits per $1, but if you ask me, that's a waste of time and money.
With these credits, I've been able to: triple the size of my video game library, develop an impressive graphic novels collection, do all my Christmas & birthday shopping, and most recently traded in a bunch of credits for a NINTENDO 3DS XL. Hoo-ha!
My niche is comics & video games, but there are over a million members on the site as of now who deal in all sorts of goods & products. You can find anything from a new HDTV to a small gift basket filled with aromatic soaps & lotions. Looking for some new kitchenware or household amenities? Listia's got that as well.
So take a look and see if Listia is for you. If it is, take 2 minutes to sign up with your free account (you also get a BONUS 100 credits if you sign up with your Facebook account).

Thanks & enjoy! Hope to see you all on Listia.com!!
