I have a few iTunes gift cards from many years ago. I don't really remember how I acquired them. I've never owned apple products. I would like to sell them. I would accept cash, paypal, or exchange for more useful gift cards. I saw some websites, but then I saw reviews that said there were issues with the sites/they weren't trustworthy.

thanks

It was a joke/meme. Check out Kitboga on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mceb_t8EIs

Man. I didn't think people actually fell for this.

This post combined with your username makes me wonder if maybe I did

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 1 points 36 minutes ago

Hahah I didn't even notice the username. That was hilarious

I was wondering if anyone had experience selling gift cards on websites, and recommended one. I'm not interested in selling them directly to a lemming.

As for my username, do scammers and bots write scammer/robot in their usernames? perhaps you can look at my account history? I've been steadily active for the 3 years I've been on lemmy. It would be a huge effort to pose as an active user just to sell $20 to a lemmy user and somehow scam them doing so.

I'm just joking around. A popular phone scam is having people buy iTunes gift cards. But seriously, yes there are websites you can sell them to and in some places physical stores. They'll take 10% or whatever so if you have a $20 card you'll get like $18 for it. Card cash is a popular site, I'm not sure if it's the same one I used years back but they do exist and can be legit.

Do you know what paperwork you’re going to file for the IRS?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I once did that through a subreddit dedicated to exactly that. Not sure if it still works the same, but used a review system to highlight trustworthy traders and black list scammers. I found someone with a high rating and being the noob, I let him take the lead and I shared my code before he shared his, which I would never do with anyone I didn't trust.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

were you successful in the exchange?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Yup. He got my iTunes code and I got his Amazon code. All worked fine.

Raise.com's GCX marketplace is a good one.

In my state we have a law that gift cards can not expire

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 4 hours ago

Probably Facebook marketplace or something
