I know a few cases where people have sold gift cards above market value. Mostly it's because the purchaser is unable to buy from the shop because of their location, credit card brand or other enforced block.
Many online games for instance block purchases from Israel due to the large amount of fraud. Israels will then purchase game cards on ebay (often above market value) from people who bought them in North America.
