I get it though. I remember thinking the same long ago when I was new... the difference is, instead of commenting negatively on others auctions...
I asked the members with what I once thought were higher GINS - as well as those who actually WON their listings with those GINS....
If it was real? How were members trading so many points for items?
I listened, I learned, and soon I was earning Free points too! Next thing you know...I was earning more & more! Soon I earned my
* 100K CLUB Badge * 1 MIL CLUB Badge
AND Drum Roll Please.... * 5 MIL CLUB Badge I've even had auctions end at over 10 MIL too :)
I don't know about you, but I like earning more not less :)
I recently had someone say the same thing on another item of mine.... One week, exactly 7 days later, it SOLD :)
Imagine the happy dance I did!
If you post an item that others WANT enough, If you have friends on Listia that WANT to help you, If you have a large enough group of loyal repeat buyers.... What once seemed impossible becomes possible :)
And that is the best part of Listia :)
By the way, even if I didn't earn free points... this GIN is at the very most - is still less than $3 by todays current market trading values. Hardly an insane amount for a pack of seeds with free shipping. Notice the auction also says -
GIN Any 10 Seed Packs & Get 10 Free Mystery Bonus Seed Packs!
20 Seeds packs for @ $30 in points with Free shipping! That's STILL an AMAZING Deal. That's only $1.50 per seed pack at the most - hardly insane :)
Even if you BUY points at a PREMIUM price, This still breaks down to only $3 a seed pack, when you GIN 10 & Get 10 Free!
Sorry, but that's still not an insane amount!? Especially because I give away a GRIP of seeds & I always add lots of bonuses too!
