I didn't see anybody being snooty about it. If people want to recycle, what's it to you? Does the fact that one burned a bunch of gas to get the cards mean it's not worth it to drop them in a bin at a store when you're nearby? By that logic, companies should just discharge their toxic waste into the nearest river cause they've already bought the raw materials and manufactured the product.

If you think that's weird, check out the Green Dot MoneyPaks. They constantly sell for way more than their face value. I'm still trying to figure out how that scam works, but in some cases sellers sell more than one card (sequentially), so I figure the sellers can't be getting burned too badly or scammed cause they certainly wouldn't do it again (i think).
