Not to sound pejorative, but couldn't this very easily facilitate money laundering? I thought that was already a problem with gift cards but I'm not very knowledgeable.
There are already gift card exchanges for cash- I'm not sure this is any different.
For reference, though, this was initially a huge concern and led to me shutting down the site for a couple months https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7157180 . Since then, I've talked to our lawyers and am confident that the measures we've taken will stem abuse.

Would love to unload all kinds of random cards that I get (i.e. AMC, iTunes).
