Sell or Trade your Unwanted Gift Card
A Great Gift
Gift cards are big business many people buy gift cards for birthdays and Christmas presents, it is an easy way to choose a present and gives people money to spend.
The gift card business is worth millions of pounds worldwide ,and is most popular in the USA and Britain. But apparently many of these gift cards go unspent and many are not used at all!
The Unwanted Cards
Gift cards can be used on-line to buy products or music. The most popular are Store cards, where they are used on a wide variety of merchandise, you can even buy gift cards for restaurants or an amazing day out!
So a certain type of gift card can become unwanted for some people,they have no interest in the products or they forget about them.But what allot of people don't realise is they actually have cash!Recent research shows more than £40million pounds may have gone astray from gift cards.

A quick look on the site, found more than 8,000 cards for sale. Many people seemed to be selling the gift cards for the actual face value? Which seemed odd considering the postage involved.
If you were selling your unwanted gift card here, it would probably serve better to sell by the Buy it Now Auction.You can decide your price, which would be advantageous to both you and the buyer, and now obviously you would have the cash to buy exactly what you want!
