So I heard there was some naysayers in this thread. One person even claimed that BPB paid for the gift cards with stolen credit cards.
I can say this is not the case.
BPB myself were talking and he proved that not only is he extra CrAzY, he is also legitimate. None of the GCs he's sold here (or elsewhere) for ridiculously low rates are paid though illegitimate means. They were all paid for with BTC. But how do I know this?
Well, we worked something out, and he shared with me his secrets. He is just genuinely a nice guy that likes to give away good deals to the community.
He gets his gift cards from gyft.com, which also accepts BTC as a form of payment. He allowed me to log into his account and personally verify every GC was paid for with BTC, which as we all know, is irreversible.
proof of previous GC cards being purchased with BTC:

I managed to score a MASSIVE amazon gift card from him. He paid for it with BTC in his own login session on his PC, and allowed me to view the code myself (I forgot to make a screenshot of the screen that shows before it reveals the code, but oh well)
$1000 amazon card purchased:

He has a number of BTCTalk forum +rep's and some +rep's on #bitcoin-otc (He was able to tell me in IRC PM what I PM'd him in the forum, linking the two account). For the foreseeable future, you can trust this guy to hold up his end.
But guys, PLEASE, remember to exercise caution with "too good to be true" deals. While BPB's case really is true, it's very atypical, and people should exercise caution and do their research before making a decision when trading on similar "too good to be true" deals.
If he really did get banned, the mods suck.
