Won holiday to Australia & can't go

Can anyone advise me of the best way to dispose of a holiday to Australia that a family member recently won in a magzine.
I haven't seen all the details yet but apparently it is for a family of four for 2 weeks and includes accomodation, flights to Cairns, car hire, insurance and spending money and the magazine reckon its worth about £5000. They won't offer a cash alternatove but said she is free to sell it on if she likes.
My aunt who won it has asked me about selling it on ebay for her and has mentioned a figure of about £3000 that she would be happy with. I'd love to take it myself for that amount but have already booked to go to Florida next year. The holiday must be taken by April of next year with the only blackout dates being around Christmas.
I can't really see anyone spending £3000 on this ebay, any one have any ideas?

If you can make it cheaper do so. If it's not reduced, in Primark, off ebay or free I can't have it :rotfl:0 -
