Listia Freebie - Lara Croft Tomb Raider Play Arts Kai Figure

As it says in my blogs description and title, I'm a collector of anything and everything. If I see it, and I like it, I'll snatch it up like a mouse going after cheese. Last month I did a review on and joined a site called Listia.com. It advertised that you could get all kinds of things for free. I of course didn't believe it til I tried it. I started small, using only the 1500 points that they give you when  you join. I won my first auction the first day, I won a small trading card of the actress  Marisol Nichols. Not a big win, but I was testing the waters, to see if it was totally free. And it was, it arrived a few days later. So I tried another auction and then another, all small items that arrived with not fuss or hidden charges. So I decided to try selling some stuff, small things, you can look at my Listia selling guide ( My Listia Selling Guide for Beginners ) if you'd like details on selling there. Its the best way to get points for spending. If you join through the banner link, feel free to contact me on Listia and I will be happy to help you get started.

Anyways I sold a few things and within a couple weeks I had over 10,000 points to play with. So I went back out looking for auctions to bid on, I only bid on auctions with free shipping. This time I was being picky, I was going to wait for something I really wanted... and guess what appeared. A Lara Croft Tomb Raider Play Arts Limited Edition Collectors Figure. It came with everything except the game. But it had all the patches, weapons, spare hands.. etc, and was marked FREE SHIPPING.  Score!! I bid & bid.. and won with a final bid of 3,948 points. Thats peanuts.. I made that many points after my first 3 auctions. Yay!! I was sooo happy. But then I had to wait and see if it would really get sent to me, I'd never spent that many points and was on edge til the day the postman came to my door with this HUGE box. I tore into it like it was Christmas morning. And it was better than what was listed... it was completely mint condition in the tin box, and all the extra parts were still in their unopened bags. Since then I've been selling and buying on Listia, and though I've continued to get some great Free stuff, Lara Croft is my favorite. Here's some pictures of the Lara Croft Figure I got... FREE!!

I'll continue to upload photos of things I get on Listia, so come back often to check out my wins. Cheers!
