I'm offering a Starbucks gift card number and pin valued at $59.32 for $40 Mt. Gox average in BTC.

Will send first to trusted members - otherwise we'll use escrow.

I previously had this sale in Currency Exchange, but thought it would be a better idea to move it over to Goods.

Bumping this. 147 views and not one person wants a Starbucks gift card? You can always transfer the balance to your standard card, or give cardpool.com a try to exchange it for Amazon or some other gift code.

The only concluded transactions I have under my belt are failed scam attempts by people with English as a second language.

As to the gift card, I can provide a screen shot (or picture from my phone) of the current balance as of the current datetime, as well as all transactions made by the card up to the current datetime. I'm also willing to use a trusted escrow if that is required, and I'd pay the fees (assuming it's a reasonable rate).

Not that I don't understand the hesitation. If I had a BTC for every random person making "offers" out of the blue, I'd have a 500 GH/s rig by now. Smiley

Yeah, I know I get it. But also keep in mind that there are other members on this site selling Starbucks Giftcards for 30% and 40% off Face value.

9/59 = 18% off.

Not trying to be harsh. Just trying to help and be honest with you.

Wow. I didn't actually calculate how much people were knocking off of the value. I'll change my price. Thanks for the tip.

I am interested but is there any way to know this isn't a scam?  We would have to send BTC first and then you'll ship?  Perhaps you can provide photo of card in hand, and we can verify amount on card?

I'm not shipping from anywhere. This sale is for the card number and PIN of the card. I'd imagine a buyer would transfer the balance to an existing physical card.

The only assurance I can give is I'm more than willing to use an escrow for the transaction. Also, unless it was someone who I genuinely distrusted, I would never ask for the coins up front.

Quote

No, not at all. I would provide the number and PIN up front to a Trusted member, or provide that information to the escrow used, who can then communicate with the buyer regarding the validity of the card balance.

Quote
Perhaps you can provide photo of card in hand, and we can verify amount on card?


The best I can do is a timestamped picture of the current balance and current transaction history. As I said, I'm more than willing to use a trusted escrow provider to make sure the buyer is comfortable during the transaction. The escrow would be responsible for checking the card balance via Starbuck's web site, relaying the OK to the buyer, and then transferring the card's information to that buyer (and of course releasing the BTC to my wallet.).

If any part of my post didn't make sense, just ask for clarification - I just got woken up after two hours of sleep so my head is a little rung.

The following is from the https://www.starbucks.com/card/guestbalance balance check -

Card balance
$59.32

as of 1/2/2014 9:20 AM


This card is valid, and any escrow used in this transaction will be able to prove that (it just occurred to me that sending pictures as proof is meaningless, as I can't show the card number and PIN being entered to prove the card being validated.).
