The Lemon Fool

I recently "won" £100 of "Love 2 Shop" vouchers. i live ina small market town in central wiltshire where the nearest "big town" is 16-20 miles away.

I don't "do" shopping.

Having looked at the places the vouchers can be redeemed (10 x £10 vouchers FTR) there really are very vfew places I would likely "shop".

That's an awful lot of bird food from Wilco's. Or 2nd hand clothing from British Heart Foundation. We don;t tend to frequent chain "restaurants" either, preferring independents. Maybe I'll just have to spend £100 in Iceland.

I did offer them to my (adult - just) daughter who may shop in some of teh stores, at half price ie buy a £10 voucher for a fiver, so we both win. But she thought I should giove them to her for free. No chance!

Anyone any ideas what else I can do with them? Can one sell them on Ebay? Do charoties take them?

DAK?

Looks like you could get around £90 for them on eBay

A search on Ebay for "Love 2 Shop" suggests you could get close to face value for them.

Nothing at Argos that takes your fancy? https://www.highstreetvouchers.com/gift ... p-vouchers . I imagine they'd post anything?

I have always regarded children (adult or not) as charities, so what's the difference?

Indeed. There's another £10 voucher on that page sold for £11.50 plus 70p postage. Madness!!!

Making up enough vouchers to get some sort of offer where they won't take mixed cash and vouchers?

And whete the BOT may actually be a human that wasn't thinking! LOL.

If you check the bidding history of that first item (yes, I was that saddo), there were automatic bids in the early stages, but the last two over-the-top bidders appear to have been real live humans. And what's all the more odd was that one of them seems to have been bidding against himself.

I had £100 of LtoS vouchers, but I like to shop at Iceland. Unfortunaetly it costs me about £10 to get there and back but with that amount it was worth it.

However, should I have wanted to spend elsewhere, there is a facility to purchase a 'virtual mastercard' which would have let me shop on line at various retailers, including Argos.

I am assuming this is still available and may be useful to anyone which the opportunity to get them.

I paid £55 for a £50 voucher on ebay once.

It was only over the odds if you don't count the £25 off a £50+ spend voucher ebay were good enough to email me for no particular reason.

I think you just found perpetual motion there.

UPDATE: used one voucher in wilco and one in Superdrug on saturday.

There's a website for everything nowadays

https://www.zeek.me/gb/sell-gift-cards/

https://www.cardyard.co.uk/sell#!/sell-wizard

to name but two.

No connection to either nor have I used either. Caveat vendor.

As it turns out the distaff half of the family use about 20 gallons of shampoo, conditioner and whatever other hair products a week apparently so they can use the vouchers in superdrug and get a enough to sink the navy in one fell swoop.
