I would go for what I wanted most and price would not be a consideration.0

I'd start at the most expensive end of the scale and work my way down until I see anything I like.
If you won a prize you might as well make the most of it.“You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
2012 Wins: BareMinerals makeup goody bag, Olympic Tickets:j0 -
I would go for something I actually liked, regardless of the price. If I fell in love with something at the lower end then cool, but if I fell in love with something at the higher end then I wouldn't feel guilty for it.

if u really like the high end prize go for it they wouldnt offer if they didnt want someone to winWhat goes around-comes around0

go for the more expensive option if that is what you like more. I would. Look at it this way, if the company had given the prize of a gift voucher to that prize you wouldn't say no would you because you thought it was too much? The company probably expects you to go top end anyway. If they can't afford to give you a £200 pair of sunglasses then they really wouldn't have offered it as a possible prize.Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:0 -
Even if you perceive that they may think that you are being greedy ordering for example a pair that are £259.99, so what? They did not cost them that much and it is very unlikely that you are ever going to have to interact with that person ever again.0

I go with what I like rather than price. When I won the welly wong comp I went with £39 wellies from Joules but could have gone for £100 Hunter wellies. But I prefered the Joules ones so went with them.0

No, I wouldn't feel guilty at all. If they are offering a prize up to a certain value they must be expecting to honour that so it wouldn't worry me. I agree that I would go for something I actually wanted rather than something just to get my moneys worth but don't be afraid to go for it, you've won it after all.0
