[Milsurplus] Selling stuff & fests

[Gordon Smith]

I can independently verify this. My wife had a bunch of internal game 
credits and you can actually exchange these credits for real money. 
The amount was over the $600 limit and I was contacted by the company 
transferring the credit to get information so that they could send me 
a 1099 form.
