The Winners[/title]
Around 150 names have been picked and a private message sent to them. If you entered the giveaway, please log into your username account to see if you've received a notification.

The first 60 to follow the exact instructions in the private message will receive a copy of the title.

If I don't hear from at least 60 people by 10am Monday 10 January (with full, correct details), any remaining books will be given out on a first come first served basis (subject to whether you've received a book in previous giveaways, though it's worth private messaging anyway as if there are many copies left over, you may still get one) at a later point. So please be quick!

Please DO NOT send me a private message if YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM ME. Just keep an eye on this thread, it'll be updated with details of how to request a leftover copy, if there are any, at some point on or after 10 January.

What's this about?[/title]
We've blagged 60 copies of the book Priceless for MoneySavers who want to tickle their brains with the thought-provoking ideas surrounding why we're happy to spend as much as we do on the products we buy, the hidden psychology of value and how everyday pricing manipulates us.

The RRP is £12.99 but it's available for £8.43 from Book Depository (inc. delivery).

What to do[/title]
If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"Hey, but I'm priceless!"

To do this you need to be registered for the Forum (if you're not, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages to see if you've won a copy on 5 January 2011. If you don't get in contact promptly you won't receive a copy and if there are any remaining books they'll be given away.

But bear in mind 150 names are being picked and there are only 60 books (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.

Also, please DON'T email in as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.

This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close on Tuesday 4 January so please get your posts in before then.

More about the book[/title]
The book's blurb...

"Why do text messages cost money while e-mails are free? How does Apple persuade people to pay for music instead of downloading it for nothing?"

"Priceless reveals how we perceive value and why businesses set the prices we pay. Rooted in the emerging field of behavioural decision theory, this book unmasks the secrets that multinationals - including Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Nestle, Nokia and Mercedes - are willing to pay millions for from so-called price consultants."

"Revealing how conventional economics gets it all wrong, this is a stunning expose of how irrational we all are and how global businesses are taking advantage."

How will the people be chosen?

150 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their FULL NAME, USERNAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

The FIRST 60 people to get back to me with ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION will win a copy of the book.

The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.

When will I get the book?

The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 60 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take a several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
