So I'm an idiot, I was planning to get corrective eye surgery so I maxed out my FSA this year but then after getting the consultation and learning I'm a candidate for PRK I started reading about the painful healing process and other people's experiences and I'm chickening out. I don't have any other major health costs this year, I could go back and try to dig up receipts for maybe $100 of dr visit copays at this point but that's about it.
I know this question has been asked a million times on reddit and elsewhere but the answer is always "buy a few extra packs of bandaids, sunscreen, and toothbrushes". That's not gonna get me through $2200 (I can roll over $550 out of the max $2750).
My question is: what's the best way to use it all up and get back the most money possible?
Are there any eligible items that have a good resale value on eBay? The more expensive the better, I don't want to be trying to sell a thousand loose diapers and bandaids on the street corner or something, lol.
