What am I missing here?

Money grabbing people such as those vutures who circle around a person who has died hoping for financial pickings are the lowest of the low.
If they are so desperate to grab cash then do as I did and go out and work damn hard and long hours.

I agree with you dOOd. He doesn't have to keep it if he doesn't want to.
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.

Im not a wordsmith
Perhaps what I meant was "hardly tactful"?
I enter comps I don't actually want to win, I mean I never want a world cruise, but the cash benefit would be very helpful so I wouldn't worry about selling it on, perhaps not on the same site I won't it

To be honest, i can't see what he did so wrong except being thoughtless in where he sold the camera.
