Kara1204 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Got the $25 GC I paid $5 for today. It came in a very nice heavy duty gift box with a nice satin ribbon on it. VERY classy way to send a GC! Between the fancy box and shipping, I figure they lost money on my "purchase."
Kara1204 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 HA! Check this out. I listed the $25 GC I bought for 5 bucks on ebay. So far, the bidding is up to $25! I do not plan on shipping it in the pretty box I got it in, as I am shipping for free. I do not undedrstand why anyone would buy this $25 card for $25??? And, there were TWO people who bid the 25 bucks so far! Do they not realize that anyone can go to the VS web site and get the same card in a pretty box for the same amount? I was hoping for and would of been happy with 20 bucks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150315487247
Sue-Z-Q Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 People are strange, very strange. I agree, what is the point when you can get it yourself for the same price AND you don't have to worry who your buying from!

People are not too smart..
BARBinU.P. Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I think they get caught up in the competion thing...they have to win. Not me I will go for the bargain.
Camkian Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Also, doesn't it have to do with how they pay? Sometimes DH says '..just buy it from ebay because I have money in my paypal account' whatever that means...
AcLaramie Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 So I signed up for email, put some stuff in the shopping cart and then signed out and closed. We will do a little experiment and see if I get this email because I have never ordered anything online from them.
