Thread: Tiffany's gift cards

  1. #1
    I have $2800 in Tiffany's gift cards or store credit if anyone wants them for 40% off.

    My Wife does not really care for that kinda stuff, the more expensive stuff that she does have just sits in its original boxes in storage.

    Many people know Axel, trust him and know it’s a good deal IF you are into Tiffany’s merchandise. That said it’s a limited market and $2800 doesn’t go that far there are you are overpaying for the name.

    The man’s not risking a reputation he built over many years for a couple thousand dollars.

    Thanks Boz.
    That's much appreciated.

    And so others know....

    I have sold many thousands in various different gift cards
    Coach, Macy's, Tiffanys, etc to various members on the forum and non members. All the gift cards were earned legit at a casino. I got an offer for 50% from an AP but I thinks that's too low. I can probably get 50% from a pawn shop if it's a gold item. That's what the girl who worked there said.

    $1,700 is already spoken for. I do ussully have people lined up who buy them, but things didn't work out this year.
    Im sure they are flush on all the other gift cards I sold them. Ill have more gift cards soon from various other more reasonably priced store's.

    I even have 2k in Amazon Gift cards but Ill probably just hang on to those unless I get a good offer. I just sold 1k in gas cards for 15% off because I didn't have that gas station near me. And I tend to lose(misplace )shit like that.

    If anyone who's actually interested in the cards has any concerns I can make sure you no longer have any.

    I won't even consider selling anything to anyone I don't have a good feeling about.

    They have simple jewelry too, if you haven't had her look and/or can't find a buyer.
    I got a $500 one to burn off comps figuring I'd just sell it since I don't wear fancy stuff either. But they had simple gold chains and charms/pendants, every day type jewelry, so it was easy to spend it.

    It can be quite lucrative to work a gift card promotion then sell the gift cards. Axel has had many business dealings with members of the forums and has a spotless reputation.

    I have bought many gift cards from Axel and have never had a problem. Most recently a couple Gucci purses worth which made the wife unit very happy.

    Thanks Max I appreciate your support and business. I think you spanked me on that deal. Had I waited or went to ebay I could have done much better.


    I hope you are enjoying the upper class tranny dress up time with my discounted upper clas swag. You the ...man/girl.

    Happy Thanksgiving anyways to the good ones out there. You know who you are.

    Enjoy the day, whatever you are doing.

    Me, I’ve already had a walk on the beach and am going to grill some burgers and watch some football.

    Thanksgiving is a working holiday for me. It's always a busy 4 days for the casinos so the money is good. I've got a comped Thanksgiving buffet coming and I'll be taking breaks today to watch some football. I think we're not far from a kickoff now. Happy Turkey Day everyone, even the Confederacy of Dunces.

    I have a Thanksgiving thought/question related to axel's first post.

    When these comps came rolling in, I assume it was part of some theoretically positive ap play. Of course, he didn't say whether he won cash or phantom bucks for that/those particular "play or plays" and from the AP-rhetoric we understand that to them it doesn't matter anyway.

    However, shoving these comps out the door at a discount tells me that whatever value they placed on the theory of getting them is now worth 40% less. That could mean that the AP was actually playing a -EV game, or he played one of those small edges that "good ap's just don't play."

    Truthfully, if you were penning this to a blog, how do you guys handle this? Or is there some kind of slick wordsmithing that's needed?

    Did Alan hijack your account or something? Are you parked in his driveway, jacking his internet, for the Holidays?
    Why do the gift cards have to be calculated at full value when deciding whether the play is a go or no go? Wise Up

    Anyone I know in the AP world doesn’t include stuff like gift cards, hotels, food, or other comps when determining if a play is good or not, nor the value of the play. OCCASIONALLY there may be something where you have to put in minimal coin in to get lots of food, but 99.9% of the stuff isn’t going to be that. Comps are viewed as extra benefits like “the play is worth 5%, but will also probably get ______ on top of the 5%”.

    Exception would be if you’re playing specifically for gift cards, in which case you’ll already know what gift cards to expect and the going rate for them. Gas, grocery, etc. are 100% of value because you’re going to be spending money on that stuff anyway. WalMart and Best Buy are pretty high % because they sell for something like 90-95%+ of face value.

    Then you don't know Bob Dancer, Jean Scott, Elliott Fromm, Frank Kneeland and a few more AP's. All of them use the full value of gift cards every time they're part of the equation, in their claims of turning -EV plays into positive ones. But not the higher-up folks here. Selling them at discounts just because someone needs the money destroys the going-in position. It's like Dancer claiming to have made $150,000 in a calendar year, then getting thrown out of the house in a nasty divorce, thereby being scalped of a quick quarter mil. Anybody think he ever went back and adjusted any of his numbers claims because his ex is the one who hit "his" $400k jackpot?

    Sense says these are excuses. We keep getting lectured by the self-proclaimed ap's here that "no AP would ever go into a play without knowing the exact value of the play." Now we can easily discount max's usual stupid reply because of his envy. And I strongly suspect that if the cast of characters above say they use gift cards in their calculations, all ap's do. What is unclear is why I can't get another SD implement answer without a world of contradiction from other ap-gurus.

    What are you prattling on about now? I wouldn't consider most of those people you named as AP's. They are more like system hucksters, such as you tried to be. The difference is your failure. Most of them are succeeding while you continue trying to yank your dick while prattling on with a bunch of truckers in your man closet on wheels.

    Per the usual you are ass backwards. No one calculates the full value of gift cards into the play if they plan on selling them at a discount. It's the discounted price thats calculated into the play, dumass. You are clutching at straws and looking stupid as ever.

    And Bob kept the house. Shirley moved to California, idiot. Remember? Bonnie helped her pack. No way that fact escaped you. You are just straight up lying about it, Robocchio.

    And on the 400K royal they were playing as a team on his bankroll. No way that escaped you either.

    Pretty sure you get more from the gift card buying vending machines.

    I have banned blackhole from this thread, and deleted some messages.

    Please do not clutter this thread with garbage or trolling.

    Axel asked me if he could post this Tiffany gift card thread here, and I said it was fine. From what I know, Axel has been around the AP community for decades and never screwed anyone, so I don't see this being much of a risk.

    Speaking of gift cards, I ran a play at Cosmo in 2012 which netted me $6k in Zappos gift cards. I've been slowly using them, as has my son and girlfriend.

    Laughably, Zappos made an incredibly boneheaded mistake regarding the gift card numbers.

    They were 16 digits, which is fine, but the first 10 digits are all the same, making them incredibly easy to hack (only a million different combos) for anyone who realized this.

    How easy would this be to hack? If just 10,000 cards were made, you could guess a card number correctly once out of every hundred tries, on average!

    Not surprisingly, by now, most of my gift cards have been hacked. Zappos knows about this idiotic mistake and honors them, but it requires me to call in and explain the whole thing each time, which blows.

    I considered selling these at like 75%-80%, but I ended up saying fuck it, and just kept them, knowing that the family will eventually need enough shoes to use them all up.
