    My OH won a scooter biggest win to date and cos of his illness getting worse he decided to sell it which we did for half what it was worth to a friend of his.

    In my local paper there is always tickets for sale and have to say same numbers keep appearing in the ads so I guess these will be comp wins.

    I do comps for things I want personally and I guess some do comps with just selling in mind but we all do it for different reasons.

    (Strewth noticed today that I've notched up 20,053 comps so far this year but not won that much but who knows time is still young yet)

    i must say that i do sell alot of my wins on ebay and the money goes towards bills and stuff we really need, i dont see anything wrong with it, if you spend the hours comping and a lucky enough to win then its up to the individual what they do with there prizes....
    i know some people get funny about people selling wins, but who care...after all this is moneysaving!:D
