    :mad: :mad: 3 possibly 4 people are selling on their FREE holiday on ebay :mad: :mad:
    unbelievable cor it really does annoy me !!!!!
    genuine people wanting a holiday are losing out due to these selfish money grabbing people :mad: :mad: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    thanks to those people that have reported the ebayers to pontins but i dont think anything will come of it either

    pontins will probably not do this competition again so everyone will lose out due to the greedy people selling them on ebay

    :T :T but my little boys are well excited and cant wait to go again (we go every year and this is our first freebie)

    :T :beer: everyone that won a holiday and are going ..... have a really good holiday and enjoy yourselves :beer: :j

    if you phone freephone 08002980117 and quote pw27 (evening gazette colchester) and answer blue. they will then tell you if you have won a free holiday and then ask you when you would like to take it then go from there:p

    Just to let people know that I have just spoke to a supervisor at pontins and reported people that are selling those holidays on ebay. She looked at ebay on the computor and the same time and saw there were 3-4 people selling these. She was going to take instant action and the police might get involved. So let it be a warning to people that if you intend on SELLING the holiday DON'T it is not worth it for a criminal record.
    I am so angry people are doing this it makes my blood boil. People just think of others who cannot afford holidays and this is the only way that they can get away for a few days............... lecture over !!!:mad:



    I have also emailed Pontins about it too!
  • can i just add a little.
    you are going on about the people who are sellin these on on e-bay and a little bit of me kind of aggrees with you.

    but another little bit just thinks thats life and there is nothing we can do about it. today we complain about a free holiday by wednesday we will have forgot about it and be on to something else.

    And whats more there are a lot of people on here complaining they or their aunty or there sister best friend didnt win one and there are all these on e-bay. what about all the people who saw this advertised in their local paper went to bed and tried to book it the next day. they actually paid for the paper in the hope of getting a free holiday, it was aimed at them. i bet 95% of the people that have these holidays havent even been to the towns where these publications are.

    and for people wanting to put in false bids, remember, is you go to a house auction and bid £1 million over market value just for a laugh when the hammer falls you will be responsable for the closing bid and it may well be you that ends up in trouble.

    just one more thing for you to think about.
    you are still allowed to play the lottery if you are a millionair, or winn and waste it all on drugs and win again.

    so why on earth are the police going to get invoved in this. and if they do what will they put on your criminal record.
