£2750 watch win - Dilemma!

Congrats!
I always wondered how much a high-value (and brand new) item like a watch would make after you win it from a competition. Mark up is massive that's for sure, but it's like buying a brand new car - as soon as you leave the salon, as soon it drop hugely in value.
I remember someone on this board who won a car from ITV and sold it: car value was around £19000, I think he sold it for 11k
2014 Wins: a personalised razor, 1x Cushelle Koala, Sony micro Bluetooth earphones, Tastecard for 2 months....
...Good luck to all! :-) Thumbs up and Thanks to all those posting comps on MSE and beyond!! :T0 -
That's really good to hear, and I hope your new chair gives you some mobility back. That's the lovely thing about comping, it gives you a chance to win things that can change your life, either through the prize itself, or what it can enable you to do. Congratulations again!2015 comp wins - £370.25
Recent wins: gym class, baby stuff
Thanks to everyone who posts freebies and comps! :j0 -
Be aware that if he gets £1500 for it, then £250 of that will be VAT, so £1000 cash is a good and fair result. Well done.0

Lovely to hear you managed to sort it out. Hope you can afford the chair very soon - I guess it's quite an expense
Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!0
