And if you live in California, don't forget that under California law, gift cards do not expire, so thats one thing this crazy place has going for it!

Most of the gift cards offered by retailers should hold their value. It is almost a rip off for the gift cards that lose value. If you pay $25 you should get $25 no matter how long it takes you to use it. I wouldn't buy one of these cards for anyone.

One of the sites that facilitate gift card trading is CardAvenue.com. There are other sites that allow you to sell your gift cards, but they'll only give you a percentage... if going this route, you may be better off with eBay.

I saw on the news the other night that there is a website that establishes a market for trading gift cards. If you have a gift card for a store that you do not want to use you can find someone with a card of the same value and a store/restaurant you desire to trade with. They indicated that the commission was small. Seems like a good idea. However, I forget the web address.
