I bought an item from here as a gift to someone. They are offering me $50 gift card on orders more than $150. I will part with it for $40 or so.
Let me know / pm me. Offer expires when coupon expires 10/30/2023

You're trying to sell a voucher for $50 off a purchase of $150 or more.

Actually it sounds more like an offer of $50 gift card with a purchase is $150 or more. So you would then need to make a second purchase to take advantage of the gift card.
So it's less worthwhile that you might have initially thought.
Unless I am misreading the topic and nt22 means:
1 - they spent $150 and have a $50 gift card to sell
Or
2 - they are considering buying $150 of jewelry but don't want to do it unless they have a buyer for the gift card

I see it like this:
He bought something from this store.
They sent him a "offer" of, if you spend over $150, you get $50 off a purchase. There is no gift card involved here. So it's just an offer of $50 off a purchase of $150, and he's trying to sell it for $40.

I arrived at a similar conclusion but based on the wording my assumption was that if you spend the $150, you will get a $50 gc for a later purchase, not $50 off your $150 purchase).
So that makes the maximum benefit $50 off a total purchase of $200 (25%) instead of $50 off $150 (33.3%)
Still reads like selling a coupon rather than the GC though. Which factoring in the asking price of $40 amounts to $10 off two purchases totaling $200 or more (max benefit 5%).
Cost him nothing, saves you almost nothing. And thus the negs.

Yes, essentially he's trying to get free money by spending nothing and selling a GC and or coupon for $50.

If it was a straight gift card he got from a purchase I don't think anyone would be giving any grief about it (other than "ok kinda random") Jewelry stores aren't necessarily a place you are going to frequently go to (unless you have a high maintenance partner), so I could totally see if he got a gift card from a big purchase, selling the GC because he isn't going to use it.
People do that with GC's they get from credit card reward points all the time.
