What to do with this prize?

Not wishing to sound ungrateful but...just had phone call saying I've won a genuine signed Pet Shop Boys CD.
first thought was Ebay but any other ideas where it could go to someone who would not use it as a frisbee and make my prize a little sweeter?

    If you have no use for it, you could contact your local radio station and see if they could auction it at their next fundraising event and give the proceeds to a local charity maybe :confused:
    If at first you don't succeed ........ ;) Alternative autism therapies should be free!!

    Why would you enter a comp when you know the prize pool when you do not want it?

    :T:T well done on your win :T:T

    i'd have been be very grateful to win it, there must be a good home you can find for it , maybe one of your friends or family ? or as Winjackie says perhaps auction it off for a charity that you know would benefit from it :)
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Why bother entering when you knew what the prize was? A genuine fan would've been thrilled to win this :(

    :confused:surely you knew what the prize was when you entered comp. these sorts of comp prizes should really be left to people who are actually going to be thrilled at winning the prize .I know would have been really pleased to have won this.
