I don't really want this to go into a debate about keeping and selling prizes. Just basically if you've ever sold a prize what's the most you've earn?

    I won a Sonos play speaker system last year; I'd entered for it as my husband had seen an ad for them and loved the idea, so I was over the moon when I won it. However when it came we'd just been hit with a £500 car repair bill so I really felt I had no option but to sell it on :( I got £250 for it on ebay which was pretty near what they go for in the shops, so I was pleased with that.


    Other than that, I've only sold the odd unexpected runners up prize such as a set of comic books I never entered for. So haven't made much more out of anything.

    Rarely sell anything

    Few years ago won IOW festival tickets worth about £200 for about £250.


    Also won a few netbooks some years ago, then worth about £220 each. Sold the first one above that price at about £230, the other two for about £200 and £180

    When I say "worth" it means the lowest price I can see online with a major retailer.

    Have given away alcohol to friends and family worth hundreds of pounds as I don't drink. Have given away other stuff which is normally runners up stuff which I don't want, or given to a charity shop
    thanks to all posters

    £720 fridge freezer worth £1200
    £230 computer chair worth maybe £500
    £350 for curry/Dixon vouchers worth £400

    That's it in 20 years of comping.

    All were sold at a time I desperately needed money for something. Else I would have kept them. Even the fridge freezer ( despite winning another one months before)
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    I've not yet sold anything - I tend to only enter for what I want...

    That said...

    I never enter for tickets to anything - do they not normally state your name or something on them, so that they're not transferable? Or box office pick up? I would enter for ticket comps, and sell on if I won something I couldn't go to, but hadn't realised tickets would be saleable.
