Questions & Comments
Ok, i havent seen anybody say they are having fun? This has been hard on us all and LOOK at the crazy credits for this?? No way. This seems like a scam here to me guess whos hosting it? Use your hard earned credits for something worthwhile, games are fun not this one.Who came up with this?? Some of you are wasting your credits. Cant you see that?? Greed has got the best of us all but some of us is abandoning this mine, its so dry!!!Bad Karma here folks, you are getting duped into wasting time and credits, hearing alot of good Listians complaining, this just isnt right to do loyal Listia people out of their credits. Shame on you.!!!
All this has done is anger alot of people because it said wealth didnt matter, when in fact it does!It also is taking credits away from those of us who work hard to get a few credits for ther items we put up to bid on!I might just pull all of my auctions until this silly mess is over with!!
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 !!!
I was told it was a scam to get Facebook members to join and thousands have joined. Then if your a verified member-like I WAS for 2 1/2 years. Then listia changed all their badges AND REMOVED MY VERIFIED BADGE BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE FACEBBOOK ACCOUNT-I will not do Facebook or link listia to my bank account. So after 3 years and 569 auctions with 100% positive feedback and HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN FREE SHIPPING. THEY TOOK MY VERIFIED BADGE-all to bring in new Facebook fans??? Not a very nice way to treat long time hard working listia members!!! Since there's no one manning this auction don't know who to thank for letting me vent on their auction.
The same people complaining will be the ones bidding. This is a chance to have something not everyone does and if Listia is your favorite hobby and you actually care about it here then you may want one to signify that. I do and I will be bidding on all 31 until I win one, regardless of the credit cost. I thought it was fun having a new game included and I APPLAUD LISTIA for thinking up this scavenger hunt type game.
check out my auction "Tips on How to Become an Awesome Seller" (and watch to get updated tips) a totally FREE auction! No bids necessary! Just watch and write down tips as they come up. http://www.listia.com/auction/15038532-tips-on-how-to-become-an-awesome-seller
Fan me if you can, I always fan back! :-) Check out my auctions, watch, and comment and I will return the favor! Let's at least get some benefit going for us REAL listians out of this whole "game" they created.
Ughh, how are y'all finding these coins? This is my very first one. And I can't even bid on it because I don't have enough credits. The only reason I found this one is because someone sent me a link to it.
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 :-(
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!!!
this is TOOOOO FUNNY!! I wonder if listia will respond to all this mess this silver coin stuff has caused..... everybody attacking, messaging and blocking each other over actions or comments people has left, I bet this has ran listia off and they probably wont ever do anything like this EVER again!! even if it was for the good or for the bad as people claim...I have no opinion in this either way, I just wanted to see what everybody was talking about in these auctions and see what the outcome and what listians thought about it,, and everyone I have been to has had really bad comments and very unhappy listians..... when I first heard about this I never thought it would have so much negativity and such a bad outcome, lol, but that's the way it goes sometimes I guess... well.... I want to wish everyone goodluck and happy bidding if its not to late, lol
Wow not worth the time and for people like me - Time wasted because I don't have enough credits or will probably ever.... Should have a low GIN... Takes the newer listians out of the game... :(
