Competitions Discussion Thread Part 12

pitflea

Hi there,

Just wondering if any of you winners out there want to sell me one of the Starburst Lilos or beachballs. The competition has ended now, and I tried really hard, but didn't manage to get one.

So if you won one that you don't really want, and want to sell it let me know.

Now that really is a money saving tip - win a prize for free and sell for hard cash!

Hi, I just wanted to know if most people don't like me posting blog giveaways? If so, I will stop posting them.

A lot of blogs actively encourage people to share their giveaways on dedicated 'giveaway blogs' etc and don't seem to mind as it gives them more publicity too, but recently I have had a few blog writers asking me to remove their giveaways, and I know a lot of people on MSE don't like the fact that on a lot of them your email address is visible when you enter. If I am causing more annoyance to people than anything else I will happily stop and I'm sorry to have caused trouble. (I have noticed a few wins, and I have won from some of these giveaways, also I have noticed those kind of things posted on MSE before I started finding some).

Hi kaz,
I don't see why you shouldn't post them except where the blog writer objects.
They are valid comps and people can choose whether they want to enter or not. Personally I don't enter them but that's my choice. If they're not posted there is no choice.

Hi,

I'm brand new to comps on this site, any info on how to get going would be gratefully received!

The best thing to do is to read the comping guide that has been written to help newbies

I agree with thingamabob (above). I don't see why you shouldn't post. I don't enter them either tho, so would be helpful to have (blog) in the title, like with the (effort) or (facebook)/(twitter) comps?

I can't see the harm in posting them either, but I'm another who doesn't enter them Does anyone I wonder?
