Christmas is a time of giving and while it is the thought that counts, sometimes the gift being received is not of use to the recipient. There are many reasons for gifts being unwanted and they aren’t always because the receiver is ungrateful and more because the present is something they would never use, 20% of the time it’s something they already have or it could even be as simple as it is the wrong size. While gift-givers don’t intentionally give unwanted presents, there are a few contributing factors that cause these gifts to not be well-suited. 50% of these are a result of not knowing them well enough to make an informed purchase, it could be due to a limited budget or possibly even because they have a difference in taste to the gift receiver.
Whatever the reason is; not everyone will always be satisfied with their gifts. This is where selling platforms like Gumtree are fantastic. It allows people to sell their unwanted gifts/items and use the money to purchase something they love. It’s a win-win for both the buyer and seller.
Every year in the month following Christmas there is a large amount of undesired presents being sold. Gumtree are running an unwanted gifts campaign this year where every Gumtree user who wants to sell their unwanted gifts and tag their ads with #UnwantedGifts will go into the draw to win an iPad.
Prize Includes: Canon Tough D30 Powershot camera. RRP $344.98.

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!! Winning price was $265. Congrats Aimee T!
Oooh, tricky one! I’m gonna guess $220. 🙂
I think that you would sell the Canon Tough D30 Powershot camera for half its RRP which would be $172.49
I think you are selling cause Santa bought you an IPhone 6 or 6 plus and you don’t need this camera and it is listed for $344.98
Sorry forgot to say you would be will to sell for $150.00
I think you would sell it for $149
$243.97 is my guess!
I think you would sell the camera for $280.00.
Well…..if it were me……Since Harvey Norman has it on sale this week for $328, but I’d want to move it quick so I can use the cash myself to get something awesome in the sale, I’d list it for $300 but take offers as low as $280, hoping for some middle ground at $290. That price should entice the people wanting a new camera, and should be just enough of a saving to pull them away from a mainstream store without completely devaluing the gift!

Do I get bonus points for finding your ad???
Oh yeah and the additional gues would be that you would go as low as $250 to move it super fast!
I had to close my ad! It sold in less than 30 minutes, and the gentleman just stopped to pick it up AND I’ve have 3 more texts just in that two hours :S
haha no bonus points for finding my ad – there is a link to my ad in the giveaway above that is in bold green! haha
Oh that’s terrible on me, I didn’t even notice that, I just stumbled across your ad myself when I was looking up the hashtag!
That’s a tough one!! Maybe $210. Is an amazing camera, so would be a total bargain, but good amount for you too. 🙂
I am going to say $200 (as if it was me, i research what the going price is if i sell something new, and i found the cheapest being $249 after cashback at goodguys, and so $200 is a great price for a buyer, and a decent price for you as a seller) 🙂
$230
I’d say you could get $200 but I’d be happy with whatever I could get for it just to move it on to someone who does want it.
My guess is $245.
For the haggler in me I’d go with $280.00. I’d feel like I was getting a real bargain at this price. And a nice little bonus for you, more spending money for the Boxing Day sales or back to school or……….
My birthday is the 11th of January, so I will go with $111! Cheap deal for a dedicated reader.. lol
Although, after Christmas, I swear I weigh 270 kilos, so maybe $270 is a better guess?
Ooh I love a bit of gumtree! I scored some Heelys for my littlest daughter just before Crimbo for a bargain price!
I’d guess $295 as its bnib as they say in the trade. 😀
$275.00, gorgeous looking camera!
Going to put a $280 price tag on it
$265 🙂 as your a lovely person! and wanna not make to much of a splash! But be tough with a solid price 😀
You’ve WON!!
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cloverdale/feeding/-unwantedgifts-fisher-and-price-grow-with-me-high-chair/1065809478
my bonus guess is – $225
I’ll lock in $240 please . Though I’d try & haggle you down to $180 because you know people want to pay almost nothing for 2nd hand items even if it is brand new lol . At least that’s my experience on Gumtree lol .
I’ll say you have your eye on around $227.69… 66% of RRP
I’m going to say FREE!
Great looking camera! I’m thinking $195 sounds good 🙂
$270, bargain for buyer and seller
my gumtree ad – http://www.gumtree.com.au/m-my-ad.html?adId=1065832226
Bonus guess is $260 thanks
I will guess: $275 which is enough to cover the cost of some of Christmas presents and maybe a treat for yourself.
I’m going to say $265
I’m thinking around the 200 mark too… $199
$259
I’m going to guess $229,
I wouldn’t let it go for less if it were mine!
$239.99 is my guess!
My guess is $225. This sounds a fair price for something that is brand new and in the box. The cheapest I could find it was $263 at Dick Smith and if I was buying it I would immediately think I received a good deal if I bought it for $225.
$240 would be a good price
$193.00
It sounds really low but, considering the prices that stores are selling it for, people wouldn’t risk buying from Gumtree unless they were saving a lot!
I’m going to go with $285 – my first guess was already taken 😉
I think you would be willing to sell the Canon D30 Powershot Camera for $244.98, thanks for a great giveaway and good luck to everyone who enters!.
$186
$207.50
I say $240 low enough to be slightly cheaper than the cheapest i have seen, would hopefully sell quickly and still be a decent amount of money.
$200
I’m going to guess $250, good deal for both you and potential buyer 🙂
#UnwantedGifts
I think $260 is the perfect price to sell the Canon D30 Powershot Camera for on #gumtree
A great saving for the buyer to buy an amazing camera with every feature they could ever ask for and still enough for the seller (allmumsaid 🙂 ) to make a profit on a #UnwantedGift from Christmas.
Here’s my #UnwantedGifts URL
http://www.gumtree.com.au/m-my-ad.html?adId=1066002355
I would say $240.
Think the camera is worth about $269
$234 🙂
$219.99
Here’s the link to my #unwantedgifts 🙂
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/glendale/audio/brand-new-sony-walkman-nwz-ws613-unwantedgifts/1066091444
I am going to guess $210, postage additional.
Good old Gumtree, always find ‘unwanted Christmas gift’ bargains this time of year. $246.75 is a good price for this camera. Hopefully anyway I need a new one, accidentally wet my non-waterproof camera, whoops!
I think it would be $250.
$200
Everyone on Gumtree likes a bargain. And at $195 your camera would certainly be that!
I’m thinking $211 because 2 and 11 are my fave numbers lol
I reckon $215.00 is about right, well done to whoever gets it and good luck all!
$259 is my guess! Fingers crossed ☺️
270
Tough decision
$242 – 30% off the RRP
$250 🙂
As a ode to the new year I would say $201.5 🙂 a bargain
$300 because it’s brand new!
$283.75 is what you will sacrifice this great camera for………?????*****
I’d offer the Canon D-30 Powershot camera for $180.00
As it’s relatively small and already comes packaged in a box,
I’d also offer the option of postage at an additional cost. (pre-paid Australia postpack)
and open-up sale to gumtree’s entire nationwide buying public, rather local area
$299.95
I am guessing $235.
It is brand new but you wouldn’t want to set the price too high to scare the potential buyer away.
I think you’d be willing to sell it for $250, but with all the time wasting, bargain hunting, ball-breaking, morons expecting everything for peanuts or for free on Gumtree, you will probably only get about $80, $100 if you’re firm…..and that’s if they even show up to collect that is!
MY GUESSTIMATE IS $ 279.50
$299
$200 ?
$275
$205.00 as anything selling on Gumtree goes too cheap.
I think you would take $270 for it and that would be a bargain
$199.00
Unless this is a trick question and the answer is “Free”, I’m going with $239.00!
$350
$200
2015
$215
$235
its $300 just my guess
#UnwantedGifts I’d say $300
Waterproof and shockproof
Sounds like my life proof
I would like to guess $279 please
I’ll go with $110.
$218- I think. 🙂
$274.18 is my guess!
I am going to say $300
I’m guessing $194.50
I would say $255
$199 even though its new its classed as second hand , selling things like cameras are a hard pitch good luck
I would guess $149.95 🙂
I’m going to guess $235 🙂
I’m gonna go with $180
An unwanted gift the camera is like new
But the price would be for one that is used
A fabulous camera at a great price
To buy it for $299 would be nice.
Harvey Norman have this model on sale for $278 so I’m going to say $100 less than that which is $178.
I think u would sell it for $249 thanks 🙂
I’m guessing it’s $250 ONO 🙂
$249 is my guess
$0 because you’re giving it away!!
For the low low price of $199* or 4 easy payments of $49.99*
*Plus postage and handling
$250
Let’s see….$240.00 🙂
$200
It’s a great comp! – As for a win win for buyer and seller I would guess $190 – and well worth it for a brand new Canon D30 – selling new at ‘second hand’ price. Everyone wins
$274
Um, I’m gonna go on a limb here and guess $290
285$ !
No less than $300. My last camera I spilled juice all over it then it slipped through my fingers into a puddle. Worth the price for waterproof and shockproof features
Thinking about the $180 range of price
I’m just gonna say for free to be honest 😛
$310
I’d say $239.00
I am going to guess $367
120
No reasoning here just pure guess work – $212.
Sell for $230
I think you could get $290 for it – just depends…would have been easier to sell before christmas, of course! lol
best of luck with it
Im gonna say your willing to sell it for $200 even so your able to offload it quickly and easily!
My guess is $284.98.
199.99
I believe you would sell the camera for $180
I think you’d sell it for $240 🙂
At $297.00 …That would be a real bargain for a “photo-a-day” enthusiast!
$220?! Fingers and toes are crossed!
I think with what the camera is still worth in shops you could easily sell the camera for $195
I think since its an unwanted gift would sell the camera at a good price so someone who wouldnt normally be afford to afford it could actually enjoy it. I would say $100
I’ll say $225 …..
$244.98
Hmm… A lot of people are strapped for cash in January. I think you might sell the camera for $165 to the right person.
Tough one. I would think people would be most likely to pay around $200 to $240 mark but I’m guessing you would put $265 on it.
I reckon you’d be on a winner selling it for $280.
$276.
My guess is $260
I would say $260.
Like round numbers… $250
I’m guessing $214. Even though it’s a great camera and new, I doubt you would get much more than that on Gumtree.
the camera you would sell for $229.00
$190 ono
The price of the camera is $339.
