Hi, I got some vouchers from shop that I can't turn into cash, so I'm thinking to buy something and then sell it on eBay so I can get cash. So the item should be the ones that people still buy through eBay without much price difference compared to brick&mortar shop.

My options are:

1. Ipod Shuffle
My question is, as far as I know there are new Ipods coming out soon, but there is no "new" shuffle version right? So it's ok if I purchase shuffle?
I know they have new regular Ipod and Nano, so maybe it's not a good idea to get those since people might wait for those.

2. Nintendo DS

3. Digital camera

4. Video camera

Or any other things you can suggest for me to buy and then sell of eBay? I'm not trying to make money from eBay, I just wanna turn this vouchers into cash without much loss. Thanks.

Digital cameras and video cameras usually depreciate like stones so I'd steer clear of those. Ipods usually hold their value pretty well, but as with everything on eBay, there're no guarantees.

Yeah, I find it a bit of gamble on eBay, when you're lucky an item can go even higher than store price, or it can be so cheap... Maybe I'll just wait til those new ipods hit the store here and just purchase those and re-sell them. I'm sure I can find many people wanting them.

Just sell the vouchers on eBay. They have a category specifically for them, and you should realise at least 80% of their value.

if you know anyone who wants anything from that shop, maybe you can offer to buy it for them and then give them a percentage saving

or iphones
I'm in canada I'd buy one if you were willing to ship it
I would give you 100% of what you paid
100% > 80%
lol

Haven't tried this, but there are websites that handle gift card trades. A quick google resulted in these

Better that way... at least the price will remain fairly stable.
