Unwanted competition prize

I have won a huge 50" TV, stand and surround sound system in a competition, but it is just too big for my house.

Can anybody advise the best place to sell this ?

Thanks

    If you havent got it yet ask the competition company for the equivalent of what its worth in money

    Have a look at selling it on online small ads, that way you have no fees to pay, the buyer has to come and collect it and pay in cash, once they have bought it they have no come back on any problems.

    Make a point of mentioning that it has a full manufacturers guarantee.

    You can list it on places such as Gumtree, Freeads and Adtrader.

    Most people I know wont buy electricals from a car boot incase they dont work as youve no come back especially on such an expensive tv. Also realistically who at a carboot will have enough money for a brand new 50" tv most people go there hoping for cheap used items

    Where ever you sell it keep proof that you won it as somebody may think its stolen and report you to the police
