Think I could sell this on e-bay?

[Chicago526]

I went to a holiday party last night. They had a raffle with some VERY nice prizes (trips to Hawaii and such). Well, the raffle tickets were 6 for $20, with the money going to charity, so I bought $20 worth.

I won.

A one night stay at a Holiday Inn in Lincoln, IL.

Yipee.

Having no desire to go to Lincoln, IL, do you think I can sell it on e-bay? The free night has no restrictions other than it not being good on Dec. 31. It expires next August. The regular hotel rate is $79 a night, so if I list starting at $20 (so I can get my raffle money back!), do you think someone might bid on it?

Why not. People are bidding on Best Buy gift cards and have no clue what amount they will receive...the auction states it could be $200, $100, etc....(or something like that). Who's to say the seller did get all $50 ones for their 10 auction. Pretty stupid!

I think you could...or you could donate it to a school or church fundraiser

Anything sells on Ebay as long as there is a buyer.

If you don't worry about the listing fees, just in case it doesn't sell, then go for it.

I think donating it to a school or church fundraiser is a GREAT idea. We do a big Bingo Night for a school fundraiser and that gift would be a grand prize door prize.

Good luck.

sure I bet there is someone out there that has family in Lincoln, IL that they may wanna come visit for Christmas.

Just make sure you put as many keywords in your listing as you can so they can find it easily.

Good Luck

I would start off on craigst list first (www.craigslist.com) and post it to that local area. There are no fees with that site.

Just be sure its transferrable (which I'm sure it is). I've sold hotel rooms, airline credits, and event tickets on ebay. I've also sold a travel package that was non-refundable, nor could I rebook for a different date. However, I verified I was able to change the names of the ressies, and sold it for about 65% of what I paid. I was happy to recoup that much of my money. Good luck!!
