For the people here, thinking about winning the gadget show prize probably gets you daydreaming about the madness of it all (well it does me!).
But if you get all serious, would you seriously want '9 of the top-rated remote control helicopters, and 'all our top 15 waterproof cameras' and 3 different 'body boards' even though you live 180 miles from the coast'??
Surely in reality it'd just mean a whole wad of ebaying at < retail prices?
So here's the question .. if offered the choice (theoretical question) would you take the prize in all it's quite mental glory, or the cash value MINUS 30% just bunged in yer bank account job done? If you say 'cash' - what about cash value MINUS 50%?
Me - I'd go for the cash at 30% off, not 50% give me the 9 roller blade sets etc etc!
You?
