You can sell them for whatever you want b/c you are an Illinois resident.

Hypothetical: What if I don't live there, but I work there? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img] Can I sell them from my work address?

I read that the courts will go by the fair market value of the extra item, so that trick really doesn't fly.

Over lunch I just got 2 more replies, one for game 2 and another for game 1. Everyone willing to pay $75 each. Looks like I should have listed them for $100.

That is correct as I stated above, the extra item trick is a farse.

Pull them off craiglist and list them on ebay.

I wants teh tickets.

The trick is to price the tickets at face value but also request the buyer purchase a 1996 Ray Lankford Baseball card for $100 along with them.

Prngr44 is correct, If you live in IL you are in the clear, you can sell them for whatever you want.

However, the coffee mug/sportscard thing can be beaten in court if they press the issue.

Sell them on eBay.

[Prngr44]

Sell them on eBay along with a coffee mug, or sports card.

I think Gov. Blagoyabitch in IL legalized sale of event tickets for more than face value so if you're in IL you've got no problem.

I sold my Blues tickets that way.

What's the best way to do this? I've put an ad on craigslist. I'd prefer that the person I'm selling the tickets to is not a member of law enforcement. I'd also prefer that they don't have to see me or know my name. I've already had a guy offer my posted price for a couple of tickets - plus he mentions he may be willing to pay more. Sounds fishy to me. I have a paypal account, but that's not exactly anonymous is it? Won't paypal give out my information if they are asked?

I know, I'm part of the scalping problem and I'm going to hell.

If any loungers who aren't members of local law enforcement are interested, here is my listing:

I'm not necessarily looking for the amounts I posted. If you want to make me an offer, send me a PM.
