Gotchas

There is no free lane at all, and the discounted prices are the permanent state rather than a sale.
Payment is the review: they publish instantly, so nothing is checked and the listing is worth what a paid-inclusion link is worth.
They publish a products-per-week chart on the submit page, which showed gaps of several weeks, so the flow of new listings is thin.
