    ... and why do people enter competitions when they've no real desire for the prize?
    I know you can sometimes sell it on, but often it says "Not transferable." :confused:

    Often prizes are of high value and so they can be sold on unless of course it is a holiday etc

    What I meant was ... like you said, many are in the negative and to look on the DFW board lets you see why so many peeps like their freebies. :cool:

    Thank Martin,

    I would never pretend to be something I am not to get a sample, but I have sent off for things that I would not use. This is pruley so that I can save them to add bulk to gifts when I dnt have enough money to buy things.

    I thought that's what freebie boards are for in some sense, if I am wrong then sorry.

    no you can send for things you dont want or need thats a moral issue rather than a legal issue!

    but like you said you use them to bulk gifts so you do want or need them just not for yourself!!!

    True some I use my self depends on how good they are when they get here lol. Others I add to mini hampers or just pass on to people at church.

    JUST A THOUGH,

    For those specialist freebies, like the ones I have seen for children with diabeties, How about another seperate board. Was just a though so that they all dnt get mixed up.

    i think as long as the op clearly states it then should be fine otherwise there would be tons of boards
