I think the Fark headline describes it quite well, actually: “$125 Walmart gift card sells to value-minded Nascar fan for $127.51.”
Doh!

the sad thing is, the 2nd highest bidder, was willing to pay $125.01 cents… proof that people are willing to pay more than something is worth, just because it’s on e-bay…
