Selling a Gift Card

We had our fridge break and the part wasn't available so we needed to get a new one. It so happens the one we picked was the satin model of our stainless steel fridge and was being discontinued so it was way cheaper than the old fridge. We no longer had our receipt, so we got a $1900 gift card to Lowes.

I am planning to spend a couple hundred of it to buy other gift cards they sell for Xmas gifts(if they let me), but other than that, I have no need for $1700 at Lowes. We looked into the gift card sites but most have $1000 limit and they take a good percentage off the top. I listed it on CL for $1600($100 discount.) The way I think its an instant $100 savings to Lowes, and you can add in another coupon to get a great discount. Anyone have other ideas?

I would put it on ebay. You will have to pay fees, but you will get more on there than anywhere else I think.

I am not sure about Lowe's, but most places won't let you buy gift cards, with a gift card. I'd double check.

Yep-found that out. Ended up selling it to a friend for $1400. I'm happy with it. Thanks:)
