You're all idiots except for me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Assuming the only thing wrong is that it's a $25 gift card for $31, a lot of people resell cards from their country to international buyers at slightly higher prices. These cards can be used to make accounts in and purchase items from stores in a different region than you're in. A lot of region locks won't let you pay with, say, a UK credit card to buy something from the US store, so people buy these cards to get around it.

I bought a few iTunes gift cards from the US in this way a few years ago to get some apps and instant release movies that weren't in my country. Nowadays it seems like region locking happens a bit less frequently so I haven't done it in a while, but it's not a scam.

if you look at the images below, there's a fifty DOLLAR card and a twenty-five POUND card. neither are what's being offered for sale.

It's not hard to buy those online though.

tbf they started it at $20, and it got bid up to where it is now

although using a picture of a $50 card with just a "oops wrong picture, it's actually $25!" is kinda shady

it says $25 in the title and the description

they deserve to overpay if they can't fucking read
