New Egg Gift card

I have a gift Card to New Egg (www.newegg.com) for $999.99, and am looking for someone who may be interested in buying it from me for a reasonable price.

Why don't you just type, "Hi, I'm trying to scam you?"

Because $999.99 isn't a suspicious amount at all...

I bet you want to use the money to buy a big bicycle with tiny wheels. J'accuse!

I'm considering it... but have no idea what a reasonable offer is. I hate to start the bidding low, but my finances dictate I must. $300?

I wonder if you might find it easier to sell if you had it split into several smaller gift cards. I had no trouble selling some unused gift cards here myself, anyway. (And bought another.) But they were all much smaller and thus less scary in terms of piles of cash.

I'm sorry you inspired such a knee-jerk reaction. I think people are particularly sensitive right now with the recent drama.

You should check to see if they'll allow you to cash your gift card at a bank.

If you still have it in mid/late May I could do $800 (I'm closing on a house so I can't monkey with my accounts until then). Assuming I can confirm the amount, etc. :)

That's all I'll have in "fun" money once the deal is done. Regardless, good luck!
