Every year I buy ten tickets in the annual Lion's Club raffle. I never expect to win anything, but this year I got a prize. A 42-inch Vizio 3-D TV set. So the question is, what do I do with it? There's no place for it here. I suppose this is a good problem to have, and now I can stop saying I never won anything.

I'm a Winner

Very neat.
Bill,
Bring it by my house. I'll get rid of it for you. No need to thank me. Happy to help.

You have my address, Bill.
Nice one.

Re-gift to a loved one or a friend.
Really you might offer a local posting (Thrifty Nickel or maybe Craigslist. Sell it as new, and for local pickup you can just meet near a local landmark.)
Maybe: keep it, enjoy!
Donate to the nearest homeless shelter, old age home, hospice, VA hospital?
Have your own contest, as long as I get to win! lol
I already told you, my house in Houston!
See if you can trade it for a conventional TV. Really, the experts I know say that 3-D TVs are more trouble than they're worth. As in: "can I afford enough glasses to have more than one guest come and watch it."
Yeah, the 3D feature makes it something of a white elephant unless it can be viewed in 2D. I loike the idea of giving it to a VA hospital. I'm sure Goerge Kelley can advise you how to get a fat tax deduction from it, too.
