I have noticed that too, what's the point entering for a prize you can't use? There is plenty of comps on here so let someone else enter if they actually want the prize rather than greedily win something you won't use just to sell it on.

Its so common now.I think the main reason why people do this is to bump up their wins total. If you win tickets etc with no intention of using them you shouldn't be adding that amount to your 2008 total.

Which is why I never added the amount of the Tut ticket to my total (I never entered for the tix & even now can't see it mentioned on the OP) nor the Esprit £5 vouchers or most of the impulse MP3 downloads as I passed them on to others.

I'm the same. I never do those esprit comps. If I have a win thats only worth a few quid I never add it. I don't enter for tickets either (unless its a concert in Manchester) but most of the ticket comps are for london!

I wanted to win the biggy with the Esprit comp but only get those naff £5 vouchers

Nor the paint-ball vouchers that "just turned up", cos I didn't use them either and no one wanted the Esprit vouchers I won......

100% do them as I go along, it's the only way really. Use the comp ending threads as a back up only, just to see if there is any missed. Mind you I'm on here nearly all day sometimes so I find it easy to keep up as much as possible.
