I really hope there is no one disputing that the value of 9000 gallons of gas >>> $15K

this is the case for me - if i have to keep either then i'm going for the cash. who knows what the status of gas would be 10 years from now. that's like if it was the year 1995 someone saying they'd prefer to have gift cards that could be redeemed for hundreds of CRT tvs and meanwhile 10 years later everyone is buying plasma tvs.
i still would wind up taking the money probably if selling the gift cards was an option. go on ebay and tell me how many entries you see for gas gift cards. my experience with craigslist is a lot of people are there to waste time. to have to repeatedly sell gift cards and hope each and every separate transaction goes off smoothly is not worth it to me. no one is gonna buy all 9K worth of gift cards from you. you're gonna have to deal with many separate bunches of people. i couldn't even sell bootleg copies of Adobe CS3 - which retails for over $700 - for $125. now that's a deal and i still can't find legit buyers.
