Selling Tesco Vouchers - When?

Is there a good time to list Tesco vouchers on ebay? With it coming up to the next mailing I was wondering if it is better to list them ASAP (for people who can't wait till the mailing) or wait until the next one's go out in case people need to top up the ones from the new mailing.

Thanks

    Hi,
    I have never sold but only bought them, and TBH the best prices seem to be in the Spring when I wanted to use them for Days Out, and knew that they would be valid to use at Easter and in the Summer holidays.

    I suppose this time of year people may buy them for meals out, maybe you could put that on your listing as an example, plus you could say that they will be valid for 6 months so Days Out Deals will be OK to use as far away as Easter (in April) as long as you convert them in November. Meals & Days out have codes starting with S so can be used for either.

    Trouble is, I have found the lowest prices to be when people have just had their mailings, and as you say the next one is in November. All in all, if you are not desperate to sell them yet (they are valid for 2 years) I would ideally list them in the Spring, say in March which is long enough after the Feb mailing but just before the Easter Holidays.

    I would not sell my vouchers until after the festive period as people tend to watch what there spending just now.

  • Hi, just saw your thread and thought i'd add to it as i bought tesco clubcard deals off ebay and when i couldn't use them due to imy daughter being ill. I asked tesco could i return them and have the date extended, i was told yes, but, that i could only do this once in a 12 month period. Goodie thought me....that was untill i was told it was against tesco rules (whoops) and the person i bought them from off ebay would get the points back on their account ! I was gutted and honestly didn't realise this could happen or i would have given them to someone to use. Needless to say i tried to contact the person i bought them off in the 1st place and was told tuff. I used to love buying my vouchers off ebay as we couldn't afford the treats otherwise.
    Life's full of lessons and i need to pay more attention in the class of life !Hope this thread helps someone. New to this bit so hope i've made sense.
