Re-Gifting ?

[SideShow Bob]

Is it considered Re-Gifting if you are the winner of an item from entering a drawing and you give it as a gift to someone else mainly because you have no use for the prize ?

I say no it is not, but the domestic boss says it is .

Opinions ?

[Irving]

If they don't know that you won it, or do know, but want it way more than you do. Then who cares?

[cstone]

Prize winnings are not gifts. Prizes are either the fruits of skill or luck.

To be a re-gift, the item or service first had to have been a gift.

Following the above logic, a prize is not a re-gift.

[Holger Danske]

what Irving said, and tell the domestic boss to get in the kitchen and make you a sammich.

[theGinsue]

Then run like hell when she comes at you out of the kitchen with a butcher knife.


My opinion (for what it's worth), is that it is NOT a re-gift for the reasons cstone specified.

[MarkCO]

Agree. Put on your track shoes before you tell

the domestic boss to get in the kitchen and make you a sammich

since she is clearly wrong.

[spleify]

Well, I'm gonna go against popular opinion here and say YES, its a derivative of a re-gift. I look as a gift of something of thought and consideration. Giving something of which was "given" to you you first then given to someone else is "recycling" at a minimum... JMO, because you asked

With that being said. If its something your buddy would enjoy more give it to him.

[sniper7]

No I'd say its not. If you feel bad about it you can give it to me for nothing and clear your conscious.

[T-Giv]

What is the object of this discussion? Perhaps it's something I could use....that way I can take it off of your hands and eliminate the weight on your conscience altogether?


EDIT: Damn you sniper you beat me to it!

[Bitter Clinger]

I'm a bit worried about something similar. I'm giving my dad my AR. I just built myself a new one is that kosher?
