So what is the catch with the gift cards?

Like I have said many times in the past. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I figure if it makes me happy I go with it........... :up: :up:

Many times they are not exactly stolen. The person steals a product, returns it for store credit (gift card), and then sells the gift card. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So the catch to buying these would be supporting a drug habit and theft. No thanks.

Most of the time yes, but one time at my part-time job I got a Christmas present that was a giftcard. It was $100 giftcard from Walmart  and I wanted an item at another store so I sold it for $90 cash and my friend and me were both happy  :wave: But most of the time people do it by stealing an item and returning the stolen item to Walmart for a giftcard.

If they come off of craigslist or back pages it could be anything. Stolen,used or dead and even Legit. Biggest award goes to stolen. As other guys mentioned. Don't buy one unless you can verify at the store. People have also counterfeited the cards selling one for a hundred and using it before the new buyer does. Retail makes millions off of money not used on cards as well. Just don't trust anyone unless u know them when it comes to gift cards..
