Won Glamour Competition -Help needed please!!

Hi,
I'm new to the forums, to please feel free to move if I've posted in the wrong place.
I wrote a letter to Glamour magazine a couple of months ago about my view on an article. And to my ultimate surprize, have recently been contacted, telling me I have won the star prize!!!:T :j
I am so thrilled, but the problem is that the prize is two DKNY watches, worth nearly £200... which I have no use for.

I was wondering the best way of selling these? They are brand new with boxes. I looked at eBay, but there are so many watches on there, I was wondering if any one new a quicker and more safe way of selling these?

Any advice would be appreciated!!
Many thanks,
Grace

    I would see how much that particular watch goes for on ebay as people are often after a specific thing.

    If you don't want to ebay, I would probably suggest your local paper, but you may not get as much for it as you hope to.

    Other than that, I don't really know.


    Well done though :T

    Brilliant! Well done!

    As for ebay I would give it a try although there will be fake listers with the same item who will probably try and get your listings pulled, saying they are fake (cos they are mean and sneaky like that)

    Try a 3 day listing with one and see how it goes. On your listing, say it was an unwanted magazine competition prize and it is the genuine article.
