Does this make sense to anyone?

I participate in a number of on-line survey panels and a couple of them provide some really decent rewards. With one, for example, I recently redeemed by reward "dollars" for a $50 iTunes gift card.

Due to current circumstances, Kim and I decided to sell said gift card on eBay. After all, we ought to make around $42 after fees and such, which ain't nothing to sneeze at.

To our surprise/bewilderment/astonishment, we found that iTunes gift cards, and maybe others, are going for more than the face value of the card. I've provided a screenshot of a handful of eBay auctions as proof.

There are a lot more where that came from, too.

Does this make sense to anyone? That is not a rhetorical question, either! I want answers!

My first reaction is that the buyers must be in locations where they can't easily find/buy iTunes gift cards. BUT, you don't need a gift card to buy stuff on iTunes. Credit cards work perfectly fine.

Okay...so it's teens buying gift cards since they don't have credit cards. Maybe...but if they are buying something on eBay, they have a PayPal account (right?) and you can use PayPal to pay for your iTunes stuff also. And...I have a PayPal debit card. I don't know if that's because I'm "special" or not (volume user), but I doubt it.
