Sell your free gifts from phone contracts

Options
Thought I would quickly post a little tip...

If you find a phone contract through Tiger Mobiles you will get a free Tiger Toy (so cute). But with a looming Council Tax payment I decided to sell mine on eBay and subsequently got a very good price for it.

If you have one lying around the house and can bare parting with it, it might be worth cashing in :money:
Where would we be without tea?

  • Is yours the one that sold for £30?? Madness if so and has the buyer actually paid?

    I have one of those toys but it's not new in the bag. Will dig it out and list it. Would be more than happy with a tenner.

    It was indeed - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Groo-Tiger-Toy

    Buyer paid instantly, I honestly couldn't believe it :rotfl: £30 for a tiny tiger toy that was free!

    Fingers crossed for your listing, I think £10 is achievable if its tidy.

    Maybe a child has lost theirs? Parents will pay silly money to replace something like that to pacify them. That said, I had someone pay silly money for a load of MAC makeup boxes and a couple of MAC paper bags, and then paid for special delivery at almost £8 on top! Crazy because you can only trade in the actual empty pots for a lipstick. They said they wanted to put a birthday present in one of the bags. More money than sense, I say!!!

    Good point, you can see why it's popular, pretty cute -

    Meerkats are selling well too as I've just had a look at them. Shame I don't have on Oleg one though!
