I found all the gift card reselling prices from Gift Card Wiki.  Check them out.


$50 Overstock eGCs can be sold to SaveYa for $40.  You get to keep your shopping portal money (1.1%), your eBay Bucks (2%) and your credit card points (Up to 5x Ultimate Rewards).  It can get even better as I will show you later.

Top Cashback - $0.44

$200 Staples eGCs can be sold to ABC gift cards for $162 which is $8 less than you paid. This is the worst in terms of money making, but you get extra money in portals etc because the denominations are much larger.  I probably will buy this for merchandise reselling
