Nail Stickers!

I wanted to close out my account on Listia and I had a few thousand credits left. I didn't want to waste my credits completely, so I bid on the cheapest thing I could find. Since the inflation of credits on Listia, its impossible to find anything under 1,000 credits. Just a few months ago, 1,000 credits was like 40 cents. Now, its more like 10 cents. So, I was able to get some nail stickers for 3,350 credits.  Since, surveys only pay out 1,500 credits, Listia really wasn't worth it. Another item I'm waiting on in the mail is a key chain. That should just about clean out my credits.

Months ago I loved Listia.com. It is a website to where you can give away items for credits and then "buy" new items for credits. Recently, Listia is not worth it. Let me tell you why.

If you sell items for credits and have free shipping, you still have to pay to ship them and go through the hassle of shipping. If you charge for shipping, then the number of credits your items go for is a lot lower. You may end up selling an item for 1 credit.

If you do survey for credits, you end up wasting a lot of time. I don't qualify for most surveys and Peanut Lab's payout for surveys is a lot lower lately. I just don't have the time to mess with it with a full time job.

There has been an inflation recently when it came to the credits. 1,000 credits used to equal 1 dollar. Now, its 5,000 credits equals 1 dollar. That means you are paying more for items, making the items you are bidding on just not worth it. You can get it cheaper at a used store. Also, you have no idea what you are getting, since all of the items are used.

Listia used to be a fun pastime, but now its just not worth it.
