I have $65.69 in Ikea vouchers. What should I do with them? If I had a car I might go back to Ikea but since I don't, it will cost me that much to get back. I was going to sell them on Craigslist or EBay, but I'm surprised there aren't already some on sale. Does this mean people just always use them themselves? Or that Ikea shuts down the sale somehow? Their web site explicitly says these vouchers are transferable, although it doesn't discuss selling them.

I can buy 'em if you can't find someone close by. I need to get a tool box and they have them.

Well, that's not why I posted here but I'm happy to do that. Thanks. :)

I will send you an e-mail.

ooooo if you don't find a buyer, I'll buy 'em!! I'm the self appointed Ikea expert 'round these here parts. :)

Not that they shouldn't go to someone here who's perfectly deserving, but if that falls through, you could always buy something from their website.

I wouldn't suggest buying anything from the IKEA website- their customer service totally and utterly blows.

Gift cards are a known avenue for fraud and other dodginess. I wouldn't be surprised if eBay and Craigslist don't allow them for sale.

They aren't gift cards, they're rebate coupons Ikea gives you for saving them credit card fees.
