  • My OH is going to love me, as now I will be on the computer more, doing more comps lol !!!
  • I dont have an issue at all with people selling stuff they have won to raise extra cash. Have done it myself in fact.
    I do take issue with people not taking the time to thank the op of the comp they have won though, especially for super fab wins like this.
    Congratulations on your win and hope you make the money you want from it, i've only ever used ebay to sell stuff but I guess with this you would have to make it a collection only auction cos of the size.
    Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:
  • congratulations on your win! Who cares what you do with it, either way you have won something - a bike which will turn into cash at some point sounds pretty good to me!!
  • enjoy it either the money or the bike....

    maybe a stupid question but what is DH, OH etc:confused:
