has anyone sold a giftcard?

[Anonymous]

We have a few giftcards that we are very unlikely to use. The cardpool website says it will pay 92% of the value if I mail them the card? Has anyone done this? It seems kind of shady . . .

I've done it on ebay. If you list that you are going to email the code/card #, you won't have any postage fees, hassle, or a claim of non-receipt.

Thanks! Anyone else?

I've done it on ebay too. A few things...

1. check out what others sell (same brand as yours) by adding one that has bids on it to your watch list. Use that as a basis for your listing price.

2. I did that with a clothing store (expensive kids' store) and mine didn't sell that high but afterwards someone emailed me and asked if i'd sell it for 20% off face value. I refused, waited 2 months til 12/1 and listed it and it sold for 97% of face value.

3. A few I won't use, I've elected to instead use to either purchase teacher gifts or use them to buy 'fresh' gift cards for teacher gifts. I.e. I had an old navy one but the teacher like gap so I went to gap, asked for a $50 giftcard (from several families) and paid using my old navy gift card.

I've done it on ebay, and also on a local "yardsale" group I'm on Facebook. I also might check with friends/family and see if they could use the gift card, and maybe you could trade with something they have that they won't use...

I've bought and sold gift cards on eBay. Worked great.
