What To Spend Amazon Gift Balance On ???

[rj2010]

I have £300 gift card balance in Amazon, but I don't especially need to buy anything. What would you recommend that I could buy that will hold its value (I was thinking gold jewellery?) or would easily sell for a profit on Ebay?

I, too, have an Amazon gift card (£100), but can't think of anything to use it for!

If you can buy it on Amazon so can anyone else - you'd be unlikely to make a profit selling it on eBay.
Gold jewellery won't make a profit either - you would only get scrap value for it, a fraction of the retail price.

If you normally buy birthday and Christmas presents you could use the gift card for those if there is nothing you want or need for yourself

I think looking ahead and spending it on gifts for others is a good plan, if you buy gifts. Gold and silver don't hold their price and can be worth a lot less than you paid for it.

With inflation running quite low, I doubt you would find much which would appreciate in value second-hand.

How about spending it on long-life consumables which you might want over the next few months.

E.g. Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

barry not so with regards to gold, it is holding its value currently.

i would just buy my shopping on there

e bay there is no profit that i can see, - i have an item i bought for 35 quid on there and wanted to offload it back on e bay, its still not sold, even though its now at a rock bottom price.

do you need any large items, tv, radio, dvd player? - all useful.

[pastafreak]

Give it to me...I can find lots of things to spend it on...
Books, cat food, supplements, food items, art supplies, plant pots, wine, picture frames, cushions, bedding, storage.
Splurge on something for yourself. Go on!

emmie, you are correct, gold is holding its value but if you buy any jewellery from a shop and try to sell it the next day, the buyer will simply weigh it and offer you the value of the gold - far less than what you paid for it.

Nothing much will make you a profit but it is worth stocking up on consumables. Printer cartridges, light bulbs, cleaning products, cloths, car accessories, blades, batteries, paint, selotape, stationery, etc.

I’d buy one of the big Lego creator sets (they’re buildings such as the diner, garage, etc) and just keep it really safely somewhere. When you need it has been retired, sell it on Fb through a Lego page (or eBay) and you’ll make more than your money back.
