Where is the best place to sell vouchers?

I recently won £250 of John Lewis vouchers but as I am surviving on virtually nothing I would like to sell them to get more to live on. They are going for good amounts on ebay but I would have to pay them at least £20 in fees which seems excessive - I would rather to sell to someone for £230 then post there for £240 and them get £20 and also money through paypal. Does anyone know what would be the best way to sell these that is safe? I also have £50 of Eldon Square (Newcastle) vouchers too.

Thanks a lot and hope this is the right place to post this as I couldnt decide where it would fit!

    I doubt you get £230 for them, I would only use JL as a last resort as they expensive shop
  • Do you know you can use them at Ocado and Wairose? I know you may not normally shop there but they price match Tesco and have decent deals on basics and you could make them last a decent length of time for groceries

    You can have a look at this site. You won't get anywhere near what you want though!

    Thanks for the advice but dont have any of those near me, only Tesco, Morrisons and a short drive away Sainsburys.

    I only had the figer of £230 in mind as when I checked ebay to get an idea what I would get they all seemed to be quite high. For example this one:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/John-Lewis-Vouchers-200-Unconditional-Return-Policy_W0QQitemZ330407074470QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Tickets_Trave_Vouchers_Coupons_LE?hash=item4cedcbdaa6

    where £200 of vouchers are selling for £191 and there is still 5 days to go. I was just trying to avoid the fees, someone would save £20 and I would save on fees.

    There is a Waitrose in Newcastle City Centre. It's in the basement of Eldon Square underneath John Lewis and near the bus station.

    I didn't know it was there and only found it one day when my car broke down and I got the bus into town!
    Here I go again on my own....
