He obviously didn't want it, though we have no clue as to why?

Perhaps it's not quite what he thought after all?

Maybe in the meantime it had been his birthday and he'd been given one?

Or perhaps he didn't want to sell it, but just needed the money for some reason?
Who are we to judge.

But I do agree it might have been more tactful to advertise it elsewhere.
A while ago l believe it was a method of making some extra cash ?
people would enter any and every competition to try and win something they could sell !
Nothing wrong with that ?
No worse than playing the stock exchange lmo !

Yes, you're right donkeyman.
Some people flog big things too, like holidays and cars etc, and I can't really disagree with that,. If I won a holiday abroad I wouldn't go either. But I do still think he might have advertised it elsewhere.
It does seem a little like he's rubbing their nose in it, don't you think?

Re: absolutely disgusted

Perhaps he entered the competition because he loves photography, not because he needed the prize. I would imagine anyone entering a competition in a camera magazine would have decent equipment anyway.

My daughter ran in the Marathon last year and was so proud of her Marathon medal.
Not like some runners who put their Marathon medal, straight on to EBay.

Re: absolutely disgusted

realspeed, Maybe next time there is a raffle on there, you enter and you might win.
You could either give the camera to a ‘needy’ photographer, or sell it and give the money to charity.

Whatever, but try not to ‘sweat the small stuff’, it’s bad for your health.

Re: absolutely disgusted

If I won something and I didn't particularly want the prize, I would have probably done the same.

The person concerned would have thought winning the competition itself was more important than winning the prize ..... he/she would still have entered even if there was no prize.

How anyone could say he was greedy is silly, he won, it belonged to him, he didn't want the prize or didn't need it so he offered it for sale to someone who did want it.

I can't see anything wrong in that at all
