What should I get at Best Buy for $520?

[jmcoreymv]

Well I have $520 in best buy store credit and they told me it has to be used today (although I think thats a lie). Anyways what should I get...looking for something with a high resale value possibly...

Good thing you posted all of the toys you already have so that we can better help you.

I have no toys...but I need no toys...I was thinking maybe a decent digital camera.

Which would be easier to sell: a canon s50 or a g5? And how much do you think I could get for them

Have the store manager show you in writting why you must use that credit TODAY. If it is in writting, then buy something you wouldn't mind keeping in case you can't sell it. If you could use a cam, get a cam, If you could use a TV, get a TV....

Buy 1 big item for $520 & return it the next day. You now got a $520 GC that can be spent later when need arise.

what's a good digital camera to buy?

Go to E-Bay and see what people are paying for them. That is the easiest way to find the street value and interest in most items.

I don't get it. Why not just sell the Best Buy gift card on Ebay for 10% off instead of buying something to sell?

because maybe he said he has to use it today?

So.... What happened?

Ended up saving it. I worked at best buy for 2 years, and there was never a way for them to make store credit expire. I confirmed that it hasnt changed by calling some old friends that work there still. Turns out the new GM is a lying scumbag (like most BB GM's).
