Oh my goodness!  That is wierd.  Somebody needs to go back and either re-do their 3rd Grade Math lessons or refresh themselves on their Business Admin & Strategy.   I also cannot imagine what that's all about.  Is it a typo?

Wow !!!!  I can honestly say that is the strangest thing i have ever heard of.  I have seen strange things but that one has them all beat.

I don't think I can even try and explain selling things like that :(

I heard of people sell gift cards where they would rather have cash but they usually sell the gift card for less than its worth.  So yeah that is strange.  I would be very cautious of this sale.

They might be TRYING to sell Amazon gift cards at a profit; however, their listing might expire before that item sells.  Most people aren't silly enough to buy those.

I've sold an Amazon gift card on eBay before.  If I win an Amazon gift card or I receive one as a gift I might want to liquidate, instead of using it.  Then I might set up an eBay auction where I start a bid at $18.50 for a gift card that's worth $20.  I can easily sell and liquidate if I'm willing to create a win/win for myself and the buyer.

 :heart:

Have a great day!

That sounds like a terrible deal. I have to wonder who would actually buy that.
