How much do you have? You could buy something from Sears/Kmart and then sell it on Craigslist or eBay. You'd lose a little bit and probably not be able to sell it for full retail. I think that's the best way to liquidate your points. If you have a lot of points, target kitchen appliances like a kitchen aid mixer or blender as those hold their value well

The amount of froth in this bowl the last week is making me want to throw all my on-chain models out the window and sell my bags. People here posting about “gains are so easy” “I’m going to be rich” “should I sell my 401k to buy ethereum?” “Anyone long API3?” “I bought link at 30 and it dumped to 29, should I sell?”. Froth meter is at an 8/10, just like October 2017.
