Crazy way to get discounts
Someone I know wanted to get his girlfriend a Tiffany's ring, but we all know that those are super costly and rarely have discounts. So what does he do -- he goes on Ebay to purchase discounted Tiffany gift cards. For one reason or another, people don't want Tiffany gift cards, especially if the amount is small, which it almost always is. He purchases these gift cards at 20-30% discount. The result -- He gets the ring with a stack of gift cards! There are, of course, risks involved such as bad gift cards, but it worked out for him (and his girlfriend/fiance!)
