allstar2_111815(jenfrancis) I am a five year veteran as both a Listia seller and buyer. I wanted to write to say how much I thoroughly enjoy using the site. Last year, I won 100,000 credits after sleuthing out puzzle pieces for the Cyber Monday Mystery. It was fun and worth it. When I solved the puzzle, I knew I was among the first! It was very early in the morning on the third day of “hunting”. I was thinking “well, maybe they will give me a special badge, or maybe a Listia T-shirt”. I can not believe I have 100,000 credits just to spend on myself.  I am a stay-at-home mom to triplets ages 6 and twins age 4 (yes, a handful). Most of my credits are won by trading their old items and getting new things for them. I now have these credits to splurge on myself! Thank you for the many years of fun and friendships.  I look forward to many more.

allstar1_111815 (wendy9165) Hi, I became a member in March of 2014. I was a single mother with two teenagers and found myself struggling around the holidays. Then I thought Listia! I got crafts and clothes for my daughter, tools and sports equipment for my son and I even got a new TV for my family! Everything was new and we had a wonderful Christmas. So this year, I am buying new toys and auctioning them off for other families! Thank you Listia … you saved Christmas!

allstar3_111815(joshuahubbard581) I’m so excited that Listia gave me the opportunity to get Christmas shopping done early. Yes, on Listia I got a Michael Kors bag & so much more! And right now, it’s time for me to enjoy my credits. I recommend Listia because it’s way better than other auction sites. I haven’t had any problems with Listia and it’s a fun and exciting atmosphere. The raffle part on Listia is a fun and exciting experience. Listia has offered me Michael Kors, Coach, Philosophy, Paul Mitchell & so much more.

allstar1_110415(kimberlypusey) This site is amazing! I joined back in August 2012 and after a friend had posted on Facebook an auction she had won and I have been addicted ever since! Some of the people I’ve won auctions from have become dear friends on Listia and on Facebook. A lot people on Listia are genuine and there are some that are questionable but Listia protects your credits.  I have found that the people I have met on Listia ARE great people, like me and you.  Most are kind and will do what they can to help and offer advice. And I appreciate that. I have met some of the most kindest, sweetest, greatest people I’ve met in a long time.  Thanks to all the moderators who work to make the site a safe and fun place to be!

allstar2_110415(susanmalston3) I started on Listia to find items for myself and started by listing guitar picks (because at any given time I have a 100-1,000 guitar picks on hand). I teach guitar to local people who are interested in learning how to play, and as a reward for practicing their instrument, I give them really cool guitar picks. Soon my guitar picks started flying out in the mail at an alarming rate and my credits started to build up fast which I used to bid on and win a lot of intimate items for a local ladies group. One day I noticed a lot of local families were depending more and more on the local food banks, so I inquired as to where they got the food items from and I was told that local charity organizations donated money to help them buy the food for families in need during these hard economic times, then that little light in head lit up. Now today 100% of my guitar pick sales go to bid on and win intimate items, which I turn around and sell at our ladies group and then 100% of my proceeds are donated to local food banks to help feed anyone who is in need. This is just a hobby for me, but it’s a VERY rewarding hobby indeed. So anyone who GIN’s or bids on and wins my guitar picks; know that the credits you are using on my items are going for a really good cause…. Oh, and I do come across items once in awhile for myself, lol… THANK YOU Listia for making it a really fun way to help my mission with feeding hungry people.
