Thanks chaim.

i have not had any problems yet BH, but should have done my homework before starting this venture.

After much research since then, I've found that is almost never a good idea to purchase any gift cards with bitcoin from individual sellers. Even if the seller is honest and won't cheat you, you don't know who his suppliers are.

Bitcoin is a great thing, but be as careful with it as you would with cash.

Sounds very fishy to me, IISTGTBTIPI.

If It Sounds Too Good To Be True, It's Probably Illegal ;)

I'm curious to hear what risks scare you.
That it might be illegal or worried about getting scammed?

Worried that the cards may have been stolen. Not by the one who sold them to me, though. He has been nothing but honest and helpful. Even gave replacement codes or refunds the couple of times the codes didn't work. I think whoever sold them to HIM may have got them through through shady means...

Wow. This is going many people in. Maybe someone is manufacturing money deep in the system and laundering it thru multiple people who sell to multiple sellers (yOni) who sell to multiple people. Basically there is no way this is not illegal because it'll be impossible to get it for THAT cheap. Not improbable, impossible.
I'm not who you think I am.

Just to set the record straight and avoid misunderstandings, I'm not a "stolen ppmc seller". I happened to buy a bunch of codes off of a seller online, not knowing their origins, and couldn't redeem them all myself (paypal has limits on how many you can use).

Never said you are. Just said it seems that you must be a seller of a seller. Only the original guy must have done something wrong. Your clean.
