Ever hear of a site called Listia?

We all know I am a self-proclaimed serial traveler and compulsive shopper! I say that like it's a bad thing! If you find yourself in strange new lands, you just have to explore! I guess living in Alaska can make us feel a bit disconnected from the rest of the world so it's nice to get away when I can. It's good to see what we might be missing out in the big world out there!

Of course when you're traveling and shopping, one of your primary considerations will be, I have to get this stuff home! Sometimes I pack a flat rate USPS box in my luggage ~ they are flat so they don't take up any room! It's not so hard to find a post office on the road, but you can't count on them always having the packing materials you want. Mailing a few things home can be a big help if you do it right!

Another thing that I've been known to do is pack a smaller duffel bag inside my luggage on the off chance that I find stuff I just can't live without! This strategy can save you money because its cheaper to check a 2nd bag than it is to pay the extra charge for an overweight bag. And no matter what your bag weighs, You've got to get it to the airport somehow!

Of course by now, you all know that I list up some of my great finds - I get so excited when I'm able to share these treasures with you! Most of my best goodies are listed @ eCrater and I still have a few items @ Blujay - until I finish moving them over! I try not to list anything @ ebay but sometimes items do better at auction.. what's a girl to do? Check out Listia!


Hate paying listing fees? Forget about it! They give you Credits when you join. You can earn credits by completing your profile and watching videos on the site. And you get credits when you list something! Listing is why you're there anyways! List items and when they sell, you get credits to spend on Listia items you see & want. How cool is that? True Trading Online, right?!

I'm giving it a whirl and I hope you'll check it out, too!

Be Pretty!
