How Selling by Email Works
Part-used card? No problem — we pay 80% of the verified balance that is actually on the card, not just full cards.
How We Stay Compliant
We are a licensed Boston shop, and gift-card purchases run by the same rules as our counter. Every purchase is recorded in our purchase book and reported to the police, exactly like an in-store purchase — and, as Boston law requires, purchased goods are held for 30 days before they can be resold. Identity verification before payment, and payment only to the verified seller's own account, keep every transaction documented end to end.
In Boston? Just Walk In
Local sellers can skip the email: bring your cards to the counter at 1107 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 and leave with cash the same visit. Or text us first at 857-867-6468 and we will confirm the rate before you make the trip.
LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* is a licensed Boston pawn shop. Selling a gift card is a sale, not a loan — remote sellers verify their identity before payment, in-store sales are recorded the same way, and there is no credit check and no effect on your credit.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text a photo of your item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.
Questions we hear
- How fast do I get paid?
- Once your identity is verified, the balance is checked and the card is secured, payment goes out fast — the same day in most cases.
- Do I need to verify my identity?
- Yes — before payment, every remote seller completes identity verification through Plaid with a valid government photo ID. We are a licensed shop, and our purchases follow the same rules whether they happen at the counter or by email: every purchase is recorded in our purchase book and reported to the police. We verify every seller's identity — it's how we keep this program safe and legal.
- Does my card need its full balance?
- No. Part-used cards are fine: we pay 80% of the verified balance that is actually on the card.
- Why do you verify and secure the card before paying?
- That verification-first step is our fraud control, and it protects everyone. It is also exactly why we can pay a top 80% rate with no credit card on file and no authorization hold — unlike the big card-buying sites, we never ask for your credit card or put a hold on it.
- How do I get paid?
- We pay by check, Venmo, Zelle or PayPal — paid only to your own name-matched account, the account that matches your verified ID. Cash is available in store for local sellers. When you email us, we confirm your payout method in writing before anything is final.
- Is there a minimum?
- We do not publish a minimum. Email us with whatever you have — big or small — and we will tell you straight, and fast, whether we can buy it.
- What about expired or damaged cards?
- Ask first. Some expired or damaged cards we can still buy — email the details and photos and we will check before you count on it.
