Best way to sell £500 of Thomas Cook vouchers

We were lucky a little while ago and won £500 of Thomas Cook vouchers, but we'd prefer to have the money instead.

Where would be the best place to sell them? I thought eBay but if I sold them for sat £450 I'd have £45 of fees to pay, leaving us with a little over £400.

Whilst I accept we are not going to get the full value of them, I'd like to get at least £450 for them.

Any ideas???

    I wish you all the best but I think you may find it difficult to get anywhere near face value. I take it the vouchers come off a FULL price holiday rather than a bargain price one? Perhaps try some free sites like gumtree?

    No, these are actual gift vouchers with a face value - just like high street vouchers, but for Thomas Cook.

    A lot of vouchers go for more than their face value, oddly enough.

    I sold £250 of Thomas cook vouchers a few years ago on e-bay, I think I got about £200 for them.

    I offer 401.99 for them, as long as they are gift vouchers, they will pay for my next trip to Turkey.
    BTW is there a use by date on them?

    Any ideas?
