[pheonixxf]

LOTS to TRADE also will BUY gift cert/cards
I have a LOT of stuff to trade- computer programs, computer help (hubby is a computer guy), playstation games (for the first one not PS2), Attic treasures, Beanie babies, Hallmark ornaments, baby stuff, Disney movies, Teletubbie movies etc like this- GAME who wants to be a millionare + Scrabble, and a whole lot more. If you are ISO anything on my list and have anything to trade please email me. i would be happy to think about it. I would love to trade what i don't need for what I do. I have baby stuff in unisex and girls up to size 12 mos clothes, and I have tons of toys. My other biggies is a HUGE collection of Star Trek the Next Generation comics all in mint condition in plastic sleeves in three binders. I would have to count to find out how many I have in all, but they are all perfect and I think the value of them collectively is about $175-$200. I would trade for gift certificates or other things- or would take cash offer. If it sound like something you'd like email for more details!

HAVE $75 Wal Mart GC & $150 JC Pennys GC for trade

Blockbuster $50 gift cards will pay $30
Amazon $150 gift card will pay $100

May also buy other gift cards

I have never done this type of thing on this site, but I am just wondering why in the world someone would give you $150 and only take $100 in exchange for it. It just doesnt seem right to me. Nothing personal to you, it just seems weird. Thats all, and I couldnt pass this post without saying that. lol.

I used to wonder the same thing and I finally realised what is up with all this -

If I get a $150 Amazon GC from anywhere like switching my long distance carrier to MCI, then you can say that I got it for free. And if I do not want to buy anything from Amazon and am in need of money then, I would be willing to sell it for a lower price because I am getting money for that GC which I got it for free......got it? Its a little confusing! This happened to me some time back.....I had $100 Supercertificate and I was badly in need of Best Buy cards......so, I sold the supercertificates for $75 and bought Best buy cards with that. I lost a little but I got what I wanted. And the other person got $100 Supercertificates for a 25% discount!

Hope this clears your doubt. It is all a matter of timing!

I see that part of it devlina. but personally, if someone wanted to buy it from me, they would have to pay full price. lol. Im a greedy sucker I guess. lol. But like they say, to each his own. lol.

If you are desperately in need of what someone else has, I guess it is worth it. So in that case, what you say does make sense. lol.

You see I will give CASH negotiable, usable for things like rent bills etc instead of just at a store. Soooo, could be worth it for someone. I am upping my ante for an Amazon GC - I need at least $20+ will give 80% of the value (MY $80 cash for your $100 GC).
ALSO ALWAYS feel free to make me an offer I may take it! I have a $105+ JC Penny GC to trade for similiar value or $90 cash.

It looks like to be a good deal but trading on boards involves a kind of pain. Unless you have extra time for emailing back and forth (there might be other ways too which I don't know), you may find it little risky.

In my case I think I am not strong enough to take pains and aches again and again . Ofcourse rather than throwing something in garbage, I would put it here for trade, lol(sorry, I sound greedy).
