    Sadly, the T+C do not say you can't sell it on.

    That seller is obviously a "pro" their last 8 completed listings are all comp wins as well as the current 5 items on offer.

    I don't see a problem with winning to sell on. I think stalking sellers on ebay is more sad! Everyone has their own opinion and that is mine!

    Shoot me down and criticise me if you want, but I won a phone from the Pepsi comp and sold it on. If I won the TV I would definitely sell that too. Surely what people do with their win is up to them?

    My car is on it's last legs, and I am a single mum on low income....without selling on my wins there's no way I will be able to get another car as I don't have any spare money.
    I've got an iPad Mini here that I won....I am resisting selling it as I really don't want to. It's my sons birthday in 19 days - I'd rather let him have it as a pressie. I'm hoping some money or another big win comes along so that I don't have to sell it. :(

    Most of the time I enter comps to win items for myself (to keep) but when an item is not suitable or I need the money I will sell things.

    p.s. this is a 'Money Saving' site and at present I am in a situation where I need to save money anyway I can!!?
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    Good for you. I sell some prizes too - if I cannot use the prize, I buy something I can use using the money I gained from selling it.:o I also need the money with rising bills etc so winning to sell really helps me too!

    :T:T:T completely sad and if people spent less time doing things like that and worrying about what people do with their wins (which is NOBODYS business) then maybe they would have more time to enter competitions.

    I don't think people should judge!! You don't know this person's situation and fair play to them for winning a TV!!

    We all enter competitions for our own reasons and no one person has the right to judge another with what they do with their win if it is all done fair and square.

    Cheaters on the other hand I have no time for and Karma will come and bite you in the a*se in some other way!!
