If you make the effort there will be occasional promotions/deals out there to exploit where you could get away without losing too much money, even perhaps make a small profit, but for the most part these giftcard resellers get good margins and you'd be out 10-15%, and resell prices can fluctuate. Most people would rather pay a guaranteed 1-2% fee and have it back in the bank as soon as possible. I'm not from SoCal so I haven't tried the options out there, but there are other ways to liquidate gebits besides with MOs. Serve reloads at FD/DG, billpay at WM/Kmart.
