How much would you pay for a $125.00 gift card?

I need to find the buyer on this item and sell some gift cards to them......

I'm guessing he doesn't understand how the reloading thing works.

The other option would be to go to the store and buy it. Which, here in MD, would be a 5% tax on it. I never bought a gift card before, but I assume you have to pay taxes on it. So that $125 card would cost me $131.25. So any price below that I would be saving money as the consumer, not much money, but I would save some. As for the seller, wouldn't they lose the difference of the Sales Taxes with the additional shipping charges?

You can order gift cards online, probably with free shipping during the holidays.

Some people have no feasible chance to get to a store at a set time, so it's probably worth it to alot of people. I don't drive and I've only had 1 chance to get to a store this month, luckily i got everything i needed, but if i hadn't i could be screwed.

You can't put a price on a $125 gift card.

This should be good. Hmm.. I wonder if anyone's ever bought the $2,500 gift card. That would probably sell for $3,000 on ebay!

Man, 2% on the $2,500 card would net someone $50. Not bad if you have the money and as long as there are idiots around.
