So I got a lowes gift card today with $141 on it and I have no intrest in ever spending it at lowes and was gonna sell it.Did a little research online and there are websites that buy the gift cards from you,and pay you via paypal,or can send you cash.Of course they don't give you face value but its good enough for me.Anybody use any of these sites? Can they be trusted?

You can sell them on eBay for really close to face value. Surprises me sometimes how close the selling price comes, but it works well for the seller recouping most of the value.
Never used one of the sites you mentioned.

I'd hang on to it. You never know when something might come up.
Or, you could go ahead and get some gifts for Christmas, Father's Day, etc.

I would go stand at lowes and sell it to someone buying a big ticket item

Good luck.
I had a $50 gift card for Gander Mountain a couple years ago.
I tried to use it but was greeted by some of the most rude service I have ever had in my life, ANYWHERE.
I approached a total of 5 people and told them I wasn't going to use it and I would take $30 for it.
I also told them I would stand in line with them and if they didn't get $50 for them I would give them $30 cash for their trouble.
If they got their $50 they could give me my $30 and all would be good.
They all looked at me like I was crazy and walked away.
Strange world we live in.
I ended up buying man $50 worth of junk and left.
Ain't spent a dime there since.
