I would sell it if I did not need it since I could use the $ for a trip instead.

that starts a whole other thread about regifting! That subject might get as heated as the reusing your mug thead or taking food back to your room from a buffet discussion...

I'm glad someone else brought up this subject.

Okay so on the cruise they were selling these pins at the register for a dollar when you purchase any 3 pins. It's got the hidden Mickey in it so generally it's a cast member pin, but apparently not the case.

So I log on to E-bay to see what's on there as far as scrapbooking goes. I see all of these pins on here and people are just blatantly lying about the pin. Stating that you could get it from a cast member and how rare it was, blah, blah, blah. Then the kicker for me is that it had a starting price of $15 and there were already 3 bids on it.

That to me is morally wrong, you are purposely deceiving people, but that's their bad Karma.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

$50!?! I'd sell mine for $50 but the only ones that have any bids are $15.

Got me all excited.

Cosmicwaves · 10-20-2006

If people are willing to pay the price...by all means, make some extra money!

Can someone post a link? I'd like to see these.

KingOMiami · 10-20-2006

I just put a bid for one of the prints on ebay :-p

If you like it when you receive it than keep it. Otherwise, if it's going to collect dust or wind up in the trash than I see no problem with selling it and making a few bucks.

Thanks for havin' my back, Andrea!!

I just wasn't making the connection. I'm glad it's because there isn't one, and not that I lack sleep!

I so glad to see this thread remain pleasant. This seems to be one of those threads that could bait a nasty discussion if we allowed it.

MBers Rock!

Me too, this thread has remained very nice.

I just don't see a problem with selling the picture. Some people have no use for it so why not let someone else enjoy it.

**llama** · 10-22-2006

When I mentioned this thread to DH, he told me to put ours up for sale.

He thinks it's tacky, (the print, I mean). I think it's cute.

And I agree with you 100% Erin.

alicefan · 10-22-2006

I don't think it's below the belt at all. You own it - it's yours - do what you want with it. If someone is willing to pay for it then why not?

skwak · 10-22-2006

I voted for it really sucks but I actually think it is OK but certainly is in poor taste.

iluvwdw · 10-23-2006

I don't see any problems with this whatsoever. Like Erin said, One Man's Junk Is Another Man's Treasure. If they can make a buck selling something that they don't like and someone else will buy, GOOD FOR THEM!

BuzzLightyear · 10-25-2006

I don't see a proble with selling a gift you were given for free from a company.
But, I might feel differently if it was a gift from a friend?.......I'd fear they'd see it on auction!
