went first and bought 5 cards.  came out to $20.63 in US$ each.  So far working so there is a big "vouch" for that (will know more in a few days).

he sent me photos of physical cards as promised (which I have little doubt are real) with receipts.   i do find the receipts quite hokey because why would someone buy cards 3 days ago for full price and sell for 1/2 price 2 days later so either the receipts are a good photoshop job or something else is going on but in any case they have lasted more than a day so that is great by me.  only prob is i can't combine or transfer them because u can't tranfer canadian cards to us cards or canadian to canadian in the usa.  there is a way but i prefer not to do it where i am located

will buy more in a few days if they remain good.
