Questions & Comments
So the lesson is, short & sweet... You spend forever searching (unless you have insider info) You find a coin(s) attached to a 25 cent piece of junk with instructions in Japanese... You bid thousands of credits which you are actually giving to Listia... Now you are broke IF you win & you get a 1 oz silver coin worth $20 OR LESS, that may or MAY NOT ever increase in value... & the whole promo was a BIG LIE to take good members for mega-credits... In the process, Listia has managed to alienate MANY good members, A LOT who are just leaving the site because they feel they were taken !!! Hey bidders, good luck, Het Listia, Good Job... Way to keep your site popular, hope it was worth it !!!
im not upset either, if a REAL listian scams me out of credits im spreading the word loud and clear and just because this auction happens to be from a listia account dosent mean YOU CANT BE SCAMMED!! this is a scam just like any other scam on here and listians need to no that!! listia looses tons of credits each day from scammers and they are trying to make those credits up!! so who do they go after??? YOU!! honest and faithful listians... and they are hiding this scam behind some silver coins and saying they are doing this for us and that's why im upset about it!!! its just sad.... they think we are so dumb as to fall for a stunt like this so they can make up the credits they have lost from scammers and quit frankly its working pretty much in there favor cause they have racked in a TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON of credits!! way to go listia!!!
So, I just added up the credits that just 35 of these crap auctions are up to presently... Now remembering, this is only around 1/2 that are up (as far as I have read) & many still have 1 to 2 days to go, so probably will go up even more... But right now, these 35 auctions are totaling 1,229,053 hard-earned credits Listia is taking from Listians. I AM NOT WHINING BTW, cause I AM NOT bidding my credits... I am simply pointing out facts. If you double that figure, because I only added up 35 of the non-finished auctions, it means Listia is going to be taking around 2,458,106 credits... They believe that is a good thing to do to the people who use the site & keep them popular online & spread the word about Listia on Facebook & Twitter & via email & word-of-mouth... To me, that is just sad, especially when you consider that a LOT of people who DID bid, did so before all this info came to light !!! Boooo @ Listia :-(

well if you scroll to the bottom of the page and look under (COMPANY) you will see TEAM... click that and it will take you to the page of the LISTIA workers, the very first one is the FOUNDER OF LISTIA and it describes him as WANTING AS MANY CREDITS AS HE CAN GET so he can get a boat off listia!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have found a few of these..look for cheap items with high credits..Listia can learn a valuable lesson from this..don't mess with their bread and butter!!
