Would you pay someone to enter all the competitions for you?

Just wanting to know if someone offered to enter all the competitions on this website would you pay them - or do you enjoy entering them yourself?
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something

I wouldn't.

New business idea?:D
I have only been entering comps for about 2 weeks and just do it when I've got 10 mins. I seem to spend about 20mins on my day off entering comps.
Do lots of you do this daily? Do you enter everything? How much of your time do you spend comping? Do you enjoy it? Can you tell that I'm nosey? I'm intrigued by it all at the mo. Some of your wins are fantastic and kind of encourage me to enter but I'm wondering if I'll get bored really quickly and stop entering! How long have you all been comping?
Is there a thread somewhere where you've all already had this discussion?:o
I only actually enter comps where I want the prize. I dont enter comps if I wouldn't make use of the prize.
I suppose lots of people do - and then flog the prize on Ebay?
Obviously no need to answer my very nosey beak questions
Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -
I enjoy entering comps on my own. It would spoil it for me if I paid:eek: someone else to do it and by doing it this way I get to read all the things that people say on the forums and have a good giggle (Julien MacDonald dress anyone???:rotfl: ).
Some company did actually ring my lil sis and offer to enter the comps for her for a fee. She asked them why she'd do that when she could do it herself for free!
I enter comps I'd like the prize for.I never enter holidays for only 2 people leaving them for all the other MSEers, aren't I nice;) (although I have to read the t&cs very carefully for family hols comps I enter since some don't class my eldest as a child even though he's only 11:mad: )
Just an enjoyable hobby for me!:D Keeps me sane.0 -

Yes
Do you enter everything?
No, only the things that I would actually want to win
How much of your time do you spend comping?
Spend more time posting for you's lot than entering, but I spose I'm lucky as I post I can enter as I do them
Do you enjoy it?
Yep
Can you tell that I'm nosey? I'm intrigued by it all at the mo. Some of your wins are fantastic and kind of encourage me to enter but I'm wondering if I'll get bored really quickly and stop entering! How long have you all been comping?

There may be but can't remember..
Since i discovered the comps board, and all the lovely people on here, my whole family/home routines have gone to pot!!:rotfl:0 -
At the moment, im off sick, so am enjoying spending my time on here entering comps and joining in the comping community. I love reading the I won boards to see what people have been lucky enough to win, and it also gives me inspiration to keep going. Definately wouldn't pay someone to enter comps for me, why let them have the fun? It's very addictive though and think I need glasses now, as spending so much time staring at this screen!

At the moment I've had two days off sick (rotten cold) so i'm catching up on comps, but i normally do them of a night time.
I wouldn't pay someone to enter for me because a) it's part of the fun entering them yourself and b) how do you know that a.n.other is entering them for you and entering your details right? I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it for me and i wouldn't trust giving all my details to anyone else.0 -
Hi All,
I tend to just enter competition for electronics, software, PCs/Laptops or cash! Not bothered about holidays ones or whatever, but I'd never pay someone to do it, all part of the fun!
I only used to enter now and again but after winning a copy of Office 2007 I'm hooked! Thanks to Kipper and everyone else for all their comp posts!
I do wonder though, do any men actually enter these comps such as those to win a bikini, just to see if they'll win?!
Cheers
