FREE: Old fashioned earrings

Here is my primer on GINs. Hope it's helpful down the road.***
GIN = Get It Now
If you are familiar with eBay's BIN - Buy It Now - well, this is Listia's version. Basically, it allows you to set a high price for an item in addition to the basic starting bid price. If someone is desperate or just really, really wants your item NOW, they can pay the higher GIN price. If someone does bid the GIN price, the auction ends immediately.

Here's some of the fine print:
1. Minimum GIN price is 2000 credits. You can't list a GIN for less than 2000.

2. Listia charges you 50 credits to list a GIN. If someone gets the item using GIN, Listia gives you your 50 credits back.

3. Listia withholds 10% of the GIN price if someone takes the GIN. I asked them about that and they said that it is a way of ensuring that listers don't abuse GIN, that we don't just put GINs on everything we list.

4. As a lister, you cannot list an auction with a GIN until you meet certain Listia requirements. I don't recall what they are but it's something like having completed a certain number of auctions. You can find the details in the FAQs.

Anyway, I think this covers the basics of GIN. ;-) I am not a moderator or a Listia employee; I'm just a lister who has learned some of the basics and likes to share that information with new listers. I encourage you to look at the FAQs to verify what I've said since something may have changed and I am not the final word on how Listia works. That's my disclaimer. ;_0

these r really cute

Could you post a picture that is a little less blurry? I think they are pretty and would be interested in a GIN, if you are, but would like to see them a little better first. Thanks!

Thanks for stopping in! Ill try to post another pic thats clearer for ya, but I gotta get home first. Before dinner try to post another for ya! Im so sorry I have no idea what a gin is lol. Ill probably have an oh I shouldve known that moment when I figure it out! Lol

First, thank you for the pics. They are lovely, and I will be bidding. As for GIN, it means "Get It Now". Unfortunately, since you have no completed auctions yet, Listia won't let you do a GIN. No matter! I'll just have to be patient. LOL!

Beautiful earrings! F&W
