I think this thread will specifically have encouraged people to ask for one to sell - when it was the primary focus on the opening post.

It inspired me to ask - and be offered one. Not to sell though, i think my little niece would hate me for ever if she never got her Wilbur.

Just to say - I won mine from the Ideal Home Show competition (I had to upload a photo of me at their stand). I didn't have any intention of selling him but he had sat on my mantle piece for months so I decided to have a look at ebay to see if there was any interest. When I saw how much they were going for I decided to sell him!! To be honest, I'm skint at the mo and don't have a job to start till the end of the month - That £56 came in very handy!!

If I knew someone that was desperate for one like your niece is, I would never have sold him but given him away

What you do is your business, you don't owe anyone anything.

I want for my girl but that doesn't mean I begrudge anyone that sells one, each to their own xx

Fair play, £56 isn't to be sniffed at. Even for me, the sale is tempting. Resisting it this time, but at £56 can understand why many would.

I'm not in the 'you shouldn't sell wins' camp anyway - enter to keep, enter to sell, if you win it's all fair to do what you like.
