eBay account + Wal-Mart gift card + NASCAR fan = free money
This NASCAR fan just paid $127.51 for a Wal-Mart gift card worth $125.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5537280095


Overheard outside nascarfan82008's double wide:

Woman-child: unintelligible complaint (full mouth)...ends with "...internets!!!"

nascarfan82008: "Yeah, but the shipping is free, Crystal! And it's reloadable!"



thanks to fark.com for the link

3. Geez, I thought it would at least be a "collectable" with some
driver's face on it . . . nope, it's just a wal-mart card . . .

4. I put a gift card up one time that I received as a Christmas Gift
Edited on Sat Nov-27-04 10:49 AM by GingerSnaps
I moved away from the area where the store was located at and they didn't have a website to order from. I put it up on eBay thinking that I would make about 1/2 of what it was worth and someone bid a few bucks over the amount that it was for.

I have come to the conclusion that someone is taking the gift cards and somehow upping the limit on them or someone is as dumb as a bag of rocks. I opt for the first choice because the gift card industry has a number of people that don't use the gift cards and that way it would balance out the amounts in the accounting area and it would be less noticeable that way.

If a crook figured out a way to rig the election then they could figure out a way to up the limit on gift cards.

We should do a search on eBay and find out if the cards that they are overbidding on are for the stores that you can recharge the card at. If they are it could be possible that some crooked shit is going down. :D

5. What the @*(&$?
I thought that, maybe, at least, the shopping card was a limited edition NASCAR thing. Before I clicked the link, I thought that.

What kinda asswipe buttassish miserable shithead moran buys a $125 shopping card for $127 over the internets?

Why didn't the asshole just go to walmart and buy one?

Fuckhead.

Bet they all voted for Shrubbie McWarCriminal, too.

8. Not to mention the underbidder.
The underbidder bid $125.01 - again, why not just head on over to WalMart and buy your own?

Of course, I avoid WalMart like the plague, so what do I know?
