What's up fellas. So I have 3 Sharper Image gift cards. 2 worth $80 each with full $80 on them, the third $80 gift card has a balance of $4.02. Not sure if anyone shops there, but I was going to get some outdoor speakers for my home but my friend who installs home theatre's and surround sound systems, got me some nice outdoor speakers and a receiver which he's going to install in my garage. I prefer to get some cash to buy some additional components. Let me know if anyone is interested in them. Make me an offer. I'm probably never going to use them now and like I said, I'd much rather have the money for something I need rather than just use them to buy something I really don't. Thanks guys. Feel free to e-mail me as well at nasdakboy@gmail.com

I thought these gift cards were no longer valid when they filed for bankruptcy?
I saw it on the news (not that the news is 100% accurate)

I was thinking about that, either they are no longer valid or will be very soon, couldn't remember which. Iirc rivalling stores were planning to swap sharper image gift cards for store discounts.

edit:

Gadget-seller Sharper Image Corp., which filed for bankruptcy protection last month, will start accepting customer gift cards again, but with some conditions.

The San Francisco company will accept gift cards only if customers spend all the money on the card at one time and also buy something that costs twice as much as the value of the gift card. So if customers want to use a $25 gift card, they have to buy something worth at least $50.

Sharper Image will not accept any partial gift card use, though it said it may do so later.

Sharper Image (Pink Sheets: SHRP) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Feb. 19. It has 184 stores, with several in the Bay Area, including one at Pleasanton's Stoneridge shopping center and the Great Mall in Milpitas.

Seems kosher. Apologies to the OP, but buyers please heed the new conditions. Best to check with your local retail outlet for 100% clarification.

2. If you choose to redeem your card/certificate, you must purchase merchandise equal to twice the current value of the card/certificate in order to redeem it.


3. If you choose to redeem your card/certificate, you may not redeem a partial amount. Cards/certificates must be redeemed in full.


4. How does it work? If you have a $25 card/certificate, you must purchase at least $50 to be able to use it. If you have partially used your card/certificate before March 7, 2008, you must spend twice the remaining balance.


5. A Customer who does not wish to redeem his or her card/certificate as part of this program may have a priority claim in Sharper Image's bankruptcy case.
