in I won! I won! I won!
I recently won a Samsung G600 in pink and I've no idea of the value of it - how do other winners value their prizes for the £2008 in 2008 challenge if the price of the prize wasn't stated in the original comp?

If anyone can give any help with valuing the phone it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Me too. Google it, and take either the RRP or the average price on the high street.
