Perhaps try eBay next time well go on a ski website to get rid of ski gift cards and not trying to make a profit i worked there and when i left they gave me gift cards for what were called blue bucks. Every hour i worked i got 50 cents and they taxed that money so a profit no im loosing money just trying to get rid of them Quote

If someone here would have a little respect i would appreciate it. You want me to give you 500 dollars for free what is wrong with you seriously. Todays world everyone wants everything for free its not different hear apparently. These cards can be used for anything there and all year long so if you dont have a response with a legit offer dont post something please You aren’t losing a penny. $1200 or whatever the value of the gift cards isn’t worth much to you since you don’t ski...if you sold them for $800 total or $200 per card that’s $800 you can spend on anything..pay your bills, hookers, blow maybe a Carnival cruise. We don’t give a fuck that you paid taxes on those gift cards. That’s between you and your accountant. Edited February 8, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

Getting 65-70% of the value of the gift cards would be amazing. If I was in your shoes I’d be happy with 50%. My offer of $200 for one of them still stands. It’s a win win. You get Johnny cash and I save $100 on my season pass Quote

RootDKJ Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 The gift cards are only worth what the market will pay. Their purchasing power is not the same as market (resale) value. Quote

First of all, what you have is a non-liquid asset. It’s worth exactly zero in real terms. It’s worth what someone will pay for it in cash-convertible terms, which is what you appear to want to do with it. You have gift cards with X value in future Blue Mountain goods and services on them. That doesn’t make them worth X. It doesn’t even make them worth X-Y, where Y is the difference in value you perceive you should get. They are worth what someone is willing to pay. Second, you keep whining about how you paid taxes on them and are loosing (sic) money. Either you think we’re stupid, or you don’t know how taxes work. Okay, probably both. If you have gift cards with $1500 in value on them, you didn’t pay $1500 in taxes on those cards. Assuming you were in one of the highest tax brackets (hahahahah, unlikely) and paid about 30% on the “value” of those gift cards, you paid maybe $500 for them. So if I buy them from you for $1000, you are making a $500 profit. You aren’t losing anything. I’m not getting $500 free. I am purchasing from you, at a 100% markup, the ability to get a potential $300 discount on goods and services from Blue Mountain, not even the full $500 because as I stated above, the first 20% I don’t even count, as that deal can be had with enough patience. I don’t need your gift cards. I’m still sitting on almost a thousand dollars in Blue gift cards that I paid barely 50 cents on the dollar for. However, I’m still willing to honor my original, very civil and non-insulting offer, with a small modification; my spread has gone to 40 cents on the dollar from 33. That is, I am willing to purchase all that you have at 60 cents on the dollar. The education you just got costs something. Edited February 8, 2019 by enjoralas 5 1 1 Quote

Do like a lot of the workers up there and a lot of the people who ski and spoke some more pot and kill the rest of your brain cells Quote

Kyle Posted February 9, 2019 Report Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Word of advice bud, take a look at your second post in this thread, phrase that differently and MAYBE this thread wouldn’t be where it’s at right now. If you’re selling a legitimate item that’s cool, nothing wrong with that, but without knowing what this board is like and then pulling out the “everyone’s an asshole card” isn’t going to help your case. If its “tangible money” that you earned per your hours worked that you had to pay INCOME tax on, why not take them to blue and have them give you cash for them?

Do like a lot of the workers up there and a lot of the people who ski and spoke some more pot and kill the rest of your brain cells Lol, you simply don’t understand the difference between a liquid asset, and merchandise, which is what you have. The reason they WOULDN’T give you cash, is because WHAT THEY GAVE YOU ISN’T WORTH $1500! The Blue bux or whatever they call it is their way of rewarding their front line grunts with something that feels like it’s worth a lot more than it is. They give you mountain credit knowing that you will have to trade it in for things that ACTUALLY cost them far less than the price on the tag. And if they get redeemed for passes, even better, because the marginal cost is negligent and the reduced potential liability (this is what a gift card truly represents to a merchant) is significant. Look, I’ve been real nice to you in this thread so far, but I can tell we’re simply not playing on the same mental plane here, so for this one last post, i’ll speak your language: You are a ignorant moron who doesn’t understand the basic concepts of economics. I fear for you to think that sandwich slinger at Blue Mountain might have been your primary source of income, but considering racking up that much Blue Bux at 4 bits an hour – well, I just pray there are no dependents. You’re obviously not the sharpest edge in the ski shop because if you had more brains in your head than shit in your pants you would have at some point in the 5 alleged years you were employed at Blue found some way to get yourself into a more lucrative situation there than hairnet jockey, maybe giving lessons and hustling for tips and picking up some real coin instead of drowning in the grease trap and thinking you were getting one over on the man every time you snuck a chicken finger when the boss wasn’t looking. I’ve never spoked pot (sic) in my life, not that I give a rat’s ass what some toothless zinc-y no name coward on the Internet thinks of me anyway. Have fun trying to hawk your gift cards on the elsewhere of life; realize that you came into the middle of a hangout of a couple dozen of the most hardcore Blue regulars that exist, people who are at the mountain literally every weekend, and couldn’t comport yourself with enough decorum, intelligence and dignity to get a decent cash return for your non-cash (I really can’t stress that too many times) asset, so good fuckin’ luck with the Toms, Dicks and Harrys of the world. I hope you get your kidneys harvested in a Craigslist sale gone wrong. Fuck Off And Die, and please try to center all the toppings on my Quarter Pounder the next time I come through the drive-thru, I hate it when you fuckers just sling that shit in there all willy nilly and I get a half a cheese slice stuck to the package.
