...but is anyone else really surprised that someone named "nascarfan82088" would bid $127.51 for a $125 Wal-Mart gift card?

But, if they purchased it with an eBay credit card, the cost is only $126.23 after eBay points are factored in. I don't know if the gift cards are taxed or not, but they may have actually come out ahead. :eek:

yeah except for the fact a $125 Walmart card costs you exactly $125 at walmart, no tax etc....

That is why I said "I don't know if gift cards are taxed or not", I don't think I've ever purchased one before.

I did get a $20 Cobalt Friction card in the mail yesterday, which is very good since my current brake pads are almost gone. :thumbup:

Takes a truly stupid person to buy a giftcard that costs face value for more money!

Why use a broad brush when a spray gun gives you faster and easier coverage?

Whacky.

Why would yau even bother??!? :saywhat:

By the time you pay for shipping, you've paid well over the dollar amount of the card. :gomer:

question: is it possible to be an earnhardt fan, stewart fan and a jarrett fan at the same time? :gomer:
