Okay so part of me can see where your coming from, particularly if your one of the people who missed out.

HOWEVER...

I don't really see it as money grabbing. The ethos of this site is 'moneysaving' and if you have legitimately won something isn't it your right to sell it on?

Why should any of us stand as judge and jury over another to say what is right or wrong in this instance. I think its quite resourceful actually and as long as its not abused (one person trying to get LOADS of holidays and selling them on) really what is the harm.

As a person who enters competitions I occassionally win prizes that I'm not that keen on. For example I won 2 tickets to a festival worth £240. I couldn't go so I sold them on ebay. The £180 I received certainly helped towards that summers school uniform and towards expenses on our annual holiday.

Statements like the one quoted above don't make me angry :mad: :mad: :mad:

or shocked:eek: :eek: :eek:

They just make me feel :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Oh, just to clarify, I have a weekend in Camber Sands which I will not be selling on ebay.

That's different though. If there is one (or 2 ) prizes in a comp and you win and find you can't use it, fine, sell it on. But there are lots of free hols going here and I have a pal who hasn't had a holiday in years and I gave her the code yesterday only to realise last night when I came on that the code had changed.
I rang this morning pretending to be here and the man said they'd all gone. Not too impressed with that as people seem to have still been getting them this afternoon.
However I feel it is unfair for people who'd never get a holidayto miss out because of greedy people selling them on e bay. And I'll bet these people haven't even thanked the Op or may not even be members here.
We could have an "exclusive" section for freebies like this like they do on other forums? There'd still be some unscrupulous people no doubt, but it may lessen it.

Take some old socks with you to Prestatyn. We took a pair each and put em on over our other socks each time we came in pmsl. The floor is MINGING!! (OK I am a fussy cow, but believe me, my DH even said it was the dirtiest floor he'd ever seen on a holiday!)
Tis a good park though; lots to do. Our kids love the 10 foot deep pool
