"  Update: The rose base metal Starbucks cards already sold out reports CNBC. &amp;quot;It took just seconds this year to sell out, which was phenomenal,&amp;quot; stated Alexis Maybank, Gilt Groupe co-founder. Last December Starbucks unleashed 5,000 $450 steel gift cards on Gilt.com, and the cards sold out almost instantaneously. This year, the Starbucks cards that brought on such an unexplainable frenzy are back, but in an even more limited capacity. According to Eater, the new cards are made of &amp;quot;rose base metal&amp;quot; and have $400 on them. They also automatically get the card owner a Gold-level Starbucks membership. There are only 1,000 of the them up for sale on Gilt.com and the mad internet dash begins at noon ET on December 6. If you can&amp;#039;t get your hands on one of cards \u2014 which is essentially asking $50 for a small rectangular piece of metal when you don&amp;#039;t include the Starbucks money \u2014 check eBay. Last year the sold-out cards were sold on eBay for more than double the asking price, so we can only imagine what will happen this year.
