Title: Marketplace Questions - Trading for BTC (Amazon ?)
Post by: RantinRave on August 12, 2012, 11:25:36 PM
I guess what I'm trying to do is get some BTC money in a 'unique way'. I don't really care about anonymity for now, but I would like to trade for something instead of cash, bank transfer, gdmp, etc.

I have quiet a few gift cards and would kinda like to use them.

Is there a gift card that sells closer to 1:1 value then others?

I'm assuming Amazon, but that's just me.

Thanks!

I still can't understand.  Are you looking to acquire gift cards or sell gift cards?

Selling gift cards as an individual is really going to be hard to do, especially not having established trust already.

If you have a prepaid gift card, you can mail it to Get-Bitcoins.com and after they spend it they'll send you the proceeds for your sale in cash:

If you are looking to buy a gift card, and pay using bitcoins, then there are many options for that:

For the record I was trying to sell gift cards. Looks like that site you gave is pretty good, but it doesn't say what sort of gift cards they are looking for ..

- Amazon?
- Prepaid American Express?
- Prepaid Visa?

Little confusing I guess ..

Best way to get 1:1 value would be to sell the card on Ebay and then turn around and buy bitcoins unless you want to try to make a trade with someone.
