Competitions Discussion Thread Part 3

But if we think we are winning something that would thrill a guitar playing relative, that does make a difference.
Surely it would tell you in the T&C's what the prize actually is.
Most of the ones I have seen are on the site as Epiphone Gibson's - you can easily Google for a value and the links are there for epiphone.
The only person that it annoys is the person who knows about guitars, because it is not stated in the title - but most titles are c&p from the site - so if we don't know that Gibson is the dog's and epiphone ain't then we don't know to alter the title so as not to disappoint.
Sorry! But thanks for the info!Jo x2007:£5181.09 2008: £6619.70 2009: £4284.49 2010: £5213.14 2011: £4980.62 2012: £3188.52

In a word yes. I fill my recycling box every fortnight. I try to tick the boxes so that I don't get it, but miss one, and you can guarantee you'll get it. Its one of the hazards of comping, shame really, as its such a waste of companies money. Saying that though, I usually open them, have a quick glance through, and bin.
I found Enjoy England was one of the worst.0 -
Yep, loads! Post and email inbox.0

This year presents cost me very little compared to previous years, and people got more. and I have quite a lot left, so will have to start ebaying feb/mar time. I've been putting it off for the past year ~ very wary.
Did you find it less stressful as you had a stash of prizes/pressies.0
