I'm stuck with a brand new unopened PS4 to sell or keep?

To help a local (raffle) charity I bought a PS4 as the top prize and there was lots interest.

I was supposed to get at least £300 back, before handing over the PS4 (the remaining £50 would be my donation).
They didn't raise the £500 goal, Only just £100.

We agreed they would buy a cheaper prize for £50 and the remaining £50 goes to their charity.

So do I sell or keep? I love games but don't have much time these days but could be fun?
Or where do I sell it to get my £350 back? If I can?

What would you do?

Depending on when/where you bought it, you might be able to take it back. I know Argos/Amazon have 28 day return policies...or thereabouts.

If you sell second via eBay etc you will lose money due to:

1) eBay fees if you go that route.

2) The PS4 is starting to price drop. Can already be had for [url= http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps4-killzone-bundle-335-74-plus-a-selected-pre-order-game-from-360-38-zavvi-killzone-1827049 ]£335 from Zavvi with Killzone[/url], so you will struggle to sell it for more than £300 privately.

...as such, you might as well pop it open and use it.

You're right, I'm tempted to give myself an early birthday present!

I ordered in Dec and picked it up 2 weeks before Xmas from Amazon.

Looking at games now!

Need for speed/FIFA 14

To be honest, the only reason I don't have a PS4 is the lack of any games I would want to play. So can't really recommend any of the current crop. This outlook may change over the next few months when inFAMOUS Second Son, and Thief, are released.
