I saw an ad on facebook's sidebar about Listia.com has anybody every tried it?
"Listia is a new kind of auction site where you bid on other people's stuff using credits instead of real money. We make it easy for users to get rid of stuff they don't need anymore and find stuff they want for free. Listia is a marketplace where people enjoy giving and getting items for free.
Every user gets 100 free credits after signing up and listing an item. The more popular your listing is, the more credits your auction will go for. You bid credits for things you want. So each thing goes to the person who wants it most! Getting more credits is easy, fun and most importantly, costs nothing!"

I just signed up and got 55 credits on the spot. The site looks legitimate and is trying to be an anti-ebay/craigslist site. I'm still trying to figure out how it all works. It looks like you can sell it locally or nationwide (or even worldwide). The only thing that might require money sent is shipping, which either the seller can have the buyer or themselves pay for the costs. It looks promising and the website just started last year. You use credits to bid and can earn them by listing items, inviting friends, etc. I just noticed there is a 5 season disc set of House going for 3000 credits. So I would imagine that you'd have to build up your credits to secure an item. www.listia.com/about
