.... to sell or buy gift cards online. What a dear idea indeed! Haha. I know what you mean Gypsy J - it is annoying to have gift cards you won;t use. There are plenty of sites that offer the same services as Google states:
http://www.giftcertsonline.com/
http://cardsuwant.com/
http://www.abcgiftcards.com/ and others. I am going to try them all! I'll keep you updated!

I hate gift cards, I got several this year and can't use a one of them. Why couldn't they have been to Lowes or Walmart. Something useful rather than a clothing store that doesn't sell my size.

Working as a handyman/contractor, I've found that clients prepared with gift cards are a joy to work for. One client had git cards for everything from Home Depot to a licensed electrician! He called them "supply cards". On small jobs where I work for labor plus supplies, the cards eliminate hassles on both sides -- I don't have to spend money, then get it reimbursed -- with all the accounting that goes along.
That same client, BTW, had a card rack just inside a kitchen cabinet near the back door, all the cards in alphabetical order, half-showing so it was possible to tell at a glance what was there.
I love them!

The only thing I really don't like about gift cards is that I don't end up using them. I'll go to a store I have gift cards to, forgetting I have the cards. I found a new website leveragecard.com, where you can organize all your cards and see all the ones you have to use. I also get free shipping on orders made through them up until the 18th. So with all these tools cropping up and the incentive offers, gift cards are much easier to deal with.
