Sold a big chunk of my prize collection over the past week. I'm a tad strapped for cash so it was good, and selling brand new items such as dvds still wrapped for $5 etc, it's good to see people getting a bargain and the items going to good use :) I know many people have many unique opinions on selling items that have been won.. but I do it and will continue to do so :) hope everyone's having a lucky July!

My opion on selling is I don't enter purely to sell, I hate people who make up families etc to win to sell. I have however sold unwanted/unneeded items and duplicated items - it's great when you need the cash & sometimes you need the money more than you need a new toaster or a DVD - good luck to you - :)

The past year or so I've used my wins for birthday gifts, christmas presents, mothers day, it's really nice to be able to treat my family with stuff I wouldn't normally be able to afford. If only there were more competitions to win money, id be set. Yes that's it, things I've won and won't use or gift go towards my bills and to make life a little less stressful. And I like selling cheap on the local buy and sell sites, so someone else who perhaps couldn't afford the item brand new is able to get it at a cheaper price so win win situation :)
@SMary92 if you can make like less stressful for yourself why wouldn't you. You've obviously had some luck, but sometimes a paid electricity bill or an unforeseen bill paid is of much better use to you. I recently won something of a high value That I desperately needed, but it was the opposite to what I needed (they didn't specify the exact specifications you would win) anyway the person who rang me to organise delivery suggested if she wasn't able to change it for me that I look to sell it and buy something I would be able to use. It was great I have never heard of a company suggesting that, they understood I was grateful but it didn't suit my needs. Turned out they swapped it for one I would use, but still was shocked that she suggested it and happy they understood - sometimes money in your hands is far more useful

Well...my luck must be changing. I just received an e-mail stating I just won a Go Pro Hero 4. It was a provisional winning prize and sigh...I all ready have one. I'm still grateful though. I might decide to keep it as back up or give it to one of my adult children for Christmas. I know my son really would love one as they are not cheap to buy. Looking up! :)
