** I am NOT trying to sell these here. (I know the rules).

Here's what I am trying to do - I am trying to sell $18,300 worth of BassPro/Cabela's gift cards.

Back story: Our company has been using Cabela's "Club Cards" (credit cards) for the last 10 years. Four employees carry them for company purchases (computers, boats, ATV's, etc.) We've ended up with quite a few "reward points" (each point = one dollar), but they are redeemable only at Cabela's or Bass Pro.

We are transitioning to a "cash" reward card program at Capital One. (so we can spend the reward money anywhere). I have redeemed all the Bass Pro/Cabela's rewards - Bass Pro sent me nine gift cards with $2000 value, and a 10th card for ~ $300. (The most they will put on any single gift card is $2k).

I'm willing to sell them at a 15% discount ($1700 for a $2000 card), but I don't know where to list such an "oddball" (unusual) item. I'm leaning toward Craig's list, but it's known for scams, so I may be wasting my time there.

Any (serious) suggestions ?

eBay maybe? They offer some protection if the buyer says the card doesn't work.

OR just start buying all the ammo you can, then resell in a few weeks it for a profit

Any of the gift card sites will buy them. Looks like they are paying roughly $0.75 on the dollar.

Do you have to give the cash sold from these cards back to the company or are the cards yours to use how you want?

I wonder if you could go buy random stuff and return it for cash and pocket that?

ETA: Let me know if you want to take a poor OB member shopping

It's Dawg23, he probably doesn't have a spare inch in his house for more ammo...

I might have a spare inch or two - but I have a wife that would like her sewing room back.

Why wouldn’t you just by $18,300 worth of guns? It would be a far better investment.

Nobody's gonna believe you. I would buy something then sell it.

Honestly I would buy a shitload of stuff for myself

Good luck. I Don’t care for having to manage gift cards.

One question: can they be used to purchase anything?
