hey bro...you say your card is worth $1,500....I'll give you 750.00 cash for it.....O.K., $800.00....SOLD!
I doubt they'd do that as the card is "recharged" each month.
If you're getting $600/month in food stamps (which is not all that unusual), why would you sell the card? You're giving up $600/month in free stuff.
You’d better check first if that money is still on the card. Go with the sellers through the checkout line when they buy a bag of beans and look at the receipt to see what the balance says.
Or so that’s what they say on the street
Back in the bad old days when food stamps were actually stamps, this could be done. But today food stamps are doled out via a credit card. There is still a way to get cash though. You go into a grocery, pay for a bunch of expensive steaks with your EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card and then sell the steaks for 50-60 cents on the dollar.

thats excatly how they do it. in massachusetts they have 20000 lost ebt cards per month. (meaning they sell the card and report it lost)this why those people felt like they could vote 5 times in phily, no one ever calls them on it.
