For those who do postal entries

Options
Hi all

Not really been into comping the past 5 years or so due to work and such.

Anyway, I have a load of RM stamps from them losing my eBay parcels (I have an eBay biz so send a lot of parcels and sadly some don't make it, tho I still love RM). 

I've probably about 200 stamps.

Just wondering what sort of success folk have with postal comps, such as ITV?

May as well use the stamps up and thought a good way of doing it was to enter the postal comps.

TIA.

    With ITV just about zero given they are likely to have over a million entries a week.

    Our (ITV) digital engagement has grown significantly in the year, delivering 100 million votes across our big entertainment shows and 40 million paid competition entries

    on top off the paid entries are the free postal ones, 3 for 2 BOGOFF etc

    Yeah, thought that. I remember back in the day you could enter 25 online entries (if I remember correctly) for the daily shows for free. Never won it once but remember various folk on here winning many times. Many of us getting annoyed, lol, as it seemed to be same users who would boast about it.

    Might look at other postal comps. Need to use up those stamps lol.

    On another note, and I'm not joking but I'm not selling them on eBay as sold 6x 1st class stamps and the buyer put in a case since they were 'fake stamps' despite receiving them directly from RM for a lost parcel. I have my own eBay biz and know how it works and even I was amazed at the brass neck of this individual lol.
