1. You sign up and are automatically given 500 credits.
2. You can use those credits to bid on free items – everything from iPods to magnets to invites to websites.
3. At the end date, the bid with the most credits wins.
4. To get more credits, you can either sell stuff, refer friends (50 credits per friend), or buy credits ($0.10 per credit).  The latter is essentially Listia’s revenue model.

We also see why Listia can get addicting.  Like eBay, you get swept up into swapping credits and getting rid of items so you can get that iPod.  There are some quality items on this site, plus a few gems.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FB8C610F-A196-4FC4-877A-FFD59D6FFFDB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
