so my classmate is offering me a $600 bestbuy giftcard for $440 and willing to meet up at bestbuy to verify with me.

Your classmate's friend is going to mug you as you walk into the store.

Does Best Buy even put that much money on gift cards? I thought stores usually had a limit.

Uh, if they verify it then whats the issue?
 
as long as you can use the gift card and all the money at best buy...if they have nothing you want, it's a waste, unless you resell it for more than you paid for it.
if you can use it, then that is like $160 free money.
 
if you really want something from there and dont feel any shenanigans, do it.

heck spend $400 on stuff you want,t hen sell the other $200 for say $150. profit 100

Silly question but when returning stuff you bought with a gift card do you not get cash back?

Everywhere I've ever been to would put the balance on another gift card as a refund.

As long as you verify the amount on the card, not much risk. Just hope that BB has something non-overpriced for you to buy 😛

Your username says a lot...
 
If you don't use it all that day I guess the guy who sold it to you could use the balance up online if he writes down the code?
 
Well, so long as they verify it, sure, that's a pretty slick deal. But only if you plan on spending lots of money at Best Buy... spending any money there is a rarity for most people on these forums, unless Hot Deals finds something juicy of course 😛

The smart thing to do is to buy $600 worth of gift cards so the old gift card is now useless.
