My daughter entered a drawing to win a bike. It was a summer sweepstakes and she won but won a gas grill.
About two weeks after we won the grill we were trying to sell it to give her the money. Anyway I saw an ad in a local classifieds saying someone's kid won a bike in a sweepstakes and it was too big for her and they were selling it.
I offered a straight up trade to them.....grill for bike. Yeah the grill was worth a bit more than the bike but it was worth a potential loss of profit to get my daughter the thing she was trying to win in the first place.
Got it on the stand today to make sure it was safe. Had my Speed P8 on the rack to clean right before since it's had a rough go of it lately and got caught in the rain a couple times.
