OK, last week I listed that I had available credit on Southwest and was informed that you cannot advertise here. (got my little slap on the wrist). The good news is eBay is your friend. I posted all vouchers on eBay Saturday morning ($450 total). I didn't expect it to happen, but I put a Buy It Now price of 85% of the value. Well, all three sold in less than 5 minutes.
Lesson:
1. Southwest vouchers sell easily on eBat for near face value
2. If you put a Buy It Now price in, make it higher than 85% of the value.
We were able to change our flights to the next day, Thanksgiving Day to save $55 per ticket. With 7 of us flying, this was a good deal. We broke even on the sale, but we are not rushed to leave a park early on Wednesday.
