Did you factor in the amount of taxes you'd have to pay on the amount of income you generated from selling off the gift cards? (I would assume that you would have to pay taxes on the income you made from selling a product you had, regardless of how you came to own said product. But that's just an assumption, I don't know much about tax laws.)
