How to Sell Unused Gift Cards in India

Highlights You can sell gift cards online in India Websites dedicated to trading gift cards exist in India Be sure to take all precautions possible to avoid fraud

Many of us have been in a situation where someone gets us a gift card as a present, but we don’t find anything useful on that particular store. We then end up buying something out of desperation or the card gathers dust until the expiry date arrives and eventually heads to the trash can. This doesn’t always have to be the case because there are ways to exchange your gift cards for cash.

Things to remember before selling your gift card

Before we go into detail and tell you how to sell your unused gift cards, there are a few things to remember.

If you try to sell your gift card, there is always a chance of being scammed so proceed with caution. Make sure you don’t send the card without receiving payments. If it’s a gift card for any particular store, make sure you meet the person you are selling it to at that store and verify that the card is working before completing the transaction. Similar precautions should be taken before selling e-gift vouchers. If you are selling via third-party websites, make sure you read all terms and conditions (including buyer protection schemes) to avoid getting scammed. Gadgets 360 is in no way responsible for any issues that may occur while you’re trying to sell your unused gift cards for cash. Proceed at your own risk.How to sell unused gift cards online in India

There are some websites that allow you to sell your unused gift cards in India. The catch is that most of these are marketplaces so there’s no guarantee that you will find a buyer. One site lets you sell gift cards directly, but it pays only around 35 percent of the card value, which is very low. Here are sites that let you sell gift cards online in India.

Sellebrate
Sellebrate allows you to sell your gift cards directly to the company for cash. Unlike other gift card exchange platforms that we came across, Sellebrate claims to offer money for your cards, instead of listing it on its marketplace and asking you to wait for a buyer. The flip side is that it offers really low rates for gift cards

Highlights The prices announced are subject to fluctuation in the market The GeForce RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super go on sale from July 9 Prices in India are lower than those of the GeForce RTX 20 series

Hot on the heels of Nvidia’s launch of its GeForce RTX Super series GPUs and its own graphics cards based on them yesterday, the company’s partner brands have begun announcing their own versions with custom coolers and factory overclocking in some cases. Listings for new graphics cards based on the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and GeForce RTX 2070 Super have begun to appear online, and companies have shown off their products ahead of the expected July 9 sale date. Zotac, Asus and Gigabyte have announced multiple models each, and we can expect to see more in the coming days from Inno3D, Galax, MSI, and others.

Starting with Zotac, the company has announced three new models each based on the two GPUs. The entry-level Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 Super Mini is designed to be compact and will fit into nearly all common PC cabinets and features two fans, a metal backplate, and always-on white LED accents. It is priced at Rs. 35,590 in India.

Next up, the Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 Super Amp and Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 Super Amp Extreme feature two and three fans respectively, plus customisable RGB LEDs.

Nvidia GPUs Tuned for Cryptocurrency Mining Appear Online; AMD Partners Also Readying Modified Graphics Cards

Highlights Asus is advertising mining-specific cards with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs Nvidia has developed a specially tuned version of its GP106 GPU Mining-specific cards have shorter warranties and display outputs

High-end graphics cards are out of stock all over the world and even if you can find one, chances are that prices have jumped considerably. People are finding that they can even sell their own cards second-hand, and often get more for them than they paid a year or more ago. The reason is simply that professional cryptocurrency miners use these cards to perform math-intensive calculations that can be sped up considerably using a GPU’s parallel processing architecture. AMD’s GPUs have proven to be better, but the lack of availability has pushed buyers onto Nvidia products as well. The recent astronomical rise of a new currency called Ethereum, plus the continued appeal of Bitcoin, have resulted in stocks being diverted away from gamers, and there’s no end in sight.

To capitalise on this, Nvidia has been working on specially tuned versions of its GeForce GTX 1080 (P104) and GTX 1060 (P106) GPUs. Cards based on a new P106-100, manufactured by MSI and Galax, have surfaced online in a YouTube video, while others based on an alleged P104-100 GPU are also reportedly in the pipeline, according to Videocardz. The cards lack video output ports in order to differentiate them from consumer graphics cards and improve airflow, but are said to be only slightly better at currency mining than their mainstream counterparts. Though not announced yet, these cards are reportedly being sold by Chinese distributors already. They also have only a 90-day warranty because they are expected to be run non-stop, potentially leading to earlier failures.

The cards also do not get to use Nvidia’s gaming-centric GeForce branding. An official announcement was previously rumoured to be coming before the end of June, but there might not be one at all, since Asus is already advertising its MINING-P106-6G card on its website and more have been leaked widely. Official prices could be lower than those of equivalent graphics cards, but high demand could easily result in inflated end-user prices.

Meanwhile, AMD’s partners are already reworking stocks of mid-range Radeon RX400 and RX500 graphics cards. Sapphire has released four models based on the Radeon RX 470 and one based on the RX 560. The RX 470 Mining Edition will be available with either 4GB or 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, with slightly more expensive versions of each using Samsung RAM chips rather than Elpida ones because they run a few MHz faster. The RX470 models lack video outputs, while the RX560 Mining Edition has a single DVI port. All cards have one-year warranties. Asus also has a MINING-RX470-4G model listed on its website, with descriptions that promise “non-stop coin mining” and “maximum hash-rate production at minimum cost”.
