in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
When hmv were not taking gift cards i brought a whole load from ebay and have netted a profit of £311 so far. (Still have a number of xbox games and box sets to put up)

Did anybody else do the same thing as me and invest in some gift cards?

    Lol,I was going to but decided against
    I'm not a big buyer of HMVs wares, so I decided my money was better in the bank vs risk

    I think a lot of auctions were wrecked by "do gooders" putting huge bids in to stop people being "conned".

    Huh?? I don't get it. What use are HMV cards that can't be used??
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
