Typically GCs are sold for less than what they are worth. Sometimes much less...

you don't say. I thought they were like collectors items and went up in value, kinda like stamps.

So it turns out they're more like Bradford Exchange Collector's Plates, which may or may not increase in value, but always make a beautiful addition to any home?

I may start doing this. I always carry an Amazon GC balance (from my Amazon credit card). Why not just bid on all of them with a 15% discount?

EDIT: The answer to my question is "because lots of other people are already doing that". So nevermind.
