Competitions Discussion Thread Part 11

zerno

I had a lucky couple of weeks...then nothing. It's the luck..or not...of the draw. It gets a bit of a compulsion though I'm afraid. Hang in there...it's a lovely feeling when it does happen. You win a tiny few and you lose most....it depends if you enjoy it.

Dont forget you are also entering comps that probably have not ended yet, so no winners from those ones.

I also enter over 100 a day, all found on MSE!

I started comping a fortnight ago on the sunday (so this is my 15th day)

Wins:

1 Cushelle Koala cuddly toy
1 Pepperoni Fanimal
1 Book
1 x Laptop case/T shirt/notepad
1 x T Shirt (as seen on Paris Hilton )
Mccains oven chip vouchers
Vouchers Chip 'n' Dip vouchers

Approximately £100 worth of stuff :j)

I started two weeks ago and so far I have won koala and kenny rodgers tickets and I am incredibly unlucky person normally so you never know really!
Alot of comps I have entered don't end till 30th juneish so we will wait and see do I win anything else!

Those of you who enter 100+ times a day - do you enter competitions for stuff you're not interested in? And if so, what do you do with the prizes - do you sell them?

I'm just curious because I only enter competitions with prizes that I really want - mostly holidays, tickets and cash rather than 'stuff'. That might just be me though as I've just done a big clear out for charity so the last thing I want right now is a house full of 'stuff' again!

MissPixie

I enter competitions for things I want or could sell and if I won anything expensive that I really wanted I would probably have to sell it because I am planning my wedding at the moment and we are on a very very tight budget so every penny counts!

I got a job :cool: then had exams to take... and comping went out of the window, as did MSE !

I have been off sick for a while and took it up again, its my 'free' hobby and am hoping to keep it up now for a while. I start college in September which is 16 hours and then am going to work from home making a bit of money on ebay or something..

I think jools is saying that as this is one thread with lots of questions being asked in it, many of them are getting overlooked and that it would, perhaps, be better if there was a sub-board where each question would be a different thread and wouldn't get lost among the discussions.

thats exactly what I meant :cool:
