Why is it that Gift Cards sell for almost what they’re worth on ebay? People can just go to the store or order one online. Am I missing something? ---

I looked a little more and it happens for a lot of the auctions for all types, a walmart one for $300 went for $302. Doesn’t make sense to me. So now the question is why do people pay MORE than what they are worth? ---

I just meant as opposed to selling for much less. My findings aren’t wrong that just proves my point more. ---

Coupons and Discounts.If there is a 10% discount code floating around the $300 card would only cost $270.The markup around xmas time was insane,with the MS cashback promo hitting 30%. ---
