How to Get Cash for Your Unwanted Gift Card

(note this is slightly off-topic but I thought it was too timely not to pass on…)
I got 4 gift cards from Dick’s Sporting Goods, and one from Best Buy this Christmas. If you’re like many other Americans, you received a few yourself.
If you got a gift card from a store you’d never buy from, you can sell it on eBay for up to 95% of the value. Here’s how:
1. Go to eBay and search for “
2. See what they are selling for, and check out some of the descriptions.
3. Post your gift card(s) up for auction, and get cash you can actually use.
Or if you’re going to spend money somewhere anyway, why not buy a gift card for a discount and save a little. Click here to see what gift cards are for sale now on eBay.
I have not had to do this myself, but know many people that have. What do you think - are there any other good post-holiday shopping tips out there?

There are many services now where you can buy/sell/trade or transfer the balance of your gift card. You can find a pretty complete list at http://www.giftcardadvocate.org/resources.html.
