In my opinion, the best way to present the idea of TCredits to someone is to compare them to other online auction sites. I've compared them to QuiBidz and Zbiddy to name a couple. With every online auction site out there, there's some form of currency that is utilized for bidding on products. Some you purchase these bids ahead of time and then start bidding. Others like E-bay you bid w/ your own money and keep bidding until you win and thus have to purchase the product. When I talk about TCredits, I mention that not only are they utilized to bid on products that they can win for pennies on the dollar! I also inform the person that they're used to also list items they would like to sell. It only takes a single TCredit to list something, whereas other sites it cost a good deal more and they also keep a percentage of your actual sale on top of the price it took to list the item.
TCredits are used as well to purchase items outright or by bidding w/ them you gain Member Reward Points (MRP) which you can utilize to purchase items with as well. By explaining the ins and outs of how TripleClicks works to somebody, it is very easily explained how TCredits are used throughout the site. Not to mention that each time a member bids w/ a TCredit in an auction or purchases an item w/ them, they earn VersaPoints (VP). Which we all know helps us achieve our monthly goals on obtaining our desired rank w/in SFI.
