Hi

I am not sure where to post this...

A saw this website on our local CBS station and wanted to share it with everyone.

A little over a week ago CBS aired a story that just sounded too good to be true so I had to check it out for myself. It's an auction site and they auction all types of gift cards.... eg Kroger, Target, Wal-Mart, TGI Friday’s, Coach, Best Buy, Ulta etc.

Here is how it works. You buy credits. It costs 3 credits to join an auction (approx. $3 win or lose). But there is no cost to bid, and the bids only increase by a penny at a time to ensure the cards sale price stays low!

Once you win, you claim your prize and it comes in the mail. So my deal worked out like this -

Auction Credits Used - $3.00
Winning Price of Card - $0.10
Certified Shipping - $4.99
TOTAL COST $8.09 for a $50 Target Gift Card

I would be very careful of this. Do they verify the cards? You could be paying for something that has no value, or you could be selling something that the buyer will then dispute - and if they pay by paypal and dispute, the buyer always wins.
I have had some luck with plasticjungle.com. The savings are not as dramatic, but they do verify all cards on receipt. They cut the seller the check, the contact between buyer and seller is not as direct. Now of course, they make money and the savings are not as steep - but there are savings. And its a good place to unload unwanted gift cards.
