Listia has some really crazy business practices.  Today I found a netbook listed.  It was a decent netbook (ebay value $45-$60), but the seller had a whole list of parts that had been removed.  It also stated that "all other parts were in good working order".  It had an opening bid of 15,000 credits.  So, I went ahead and bid the 15 grand.  After my bid was locked in, the seller suddenly informs me that the screen needed to be replaced.  A quick check of ebay and I found out a screen is about $30.  Since the busted screen was not mentioned in the auction listing, I contacted Listia member services to cancel my bid as the other parts replaced and the new screen would cost more than I could buy a complete working netbook for.  I was informed that it would be "unfair" to the seller to cancel my bid.  Is that crazy or what?  I was also "advised" to read the auction listing carefully..  I am seriously wondering if they read MY complaint.  I guess it is legal within this site to enter a misleading description for an item, and once someone locks in their bid thats it.  I will be using up the credits I have built up and I am just done with this site.  It was a nice site about a year ago, but now the auctions are heavily over-priced and you get no support when things like this happen.
