Selling work gift?

[thatsright]

Guys - I got a gift from my job. They were getting rid of some old equipment (10+ years old) and I was given it instead. After having it for a few days, I realized I don't need it and will never use it. I'm not going to give it to someone else, but given how I have no use for it, was thinking of selling it. I could get a few hundred easily. Bad idea? Remember it was given to me and it's not 'hot' or stolen.

A gift that comes with strings isn't a gift. It's yours to use as you see fit. If you can use the money more than the item, sell it.

Are you sure the person who gave it to you was authorized to give it away? Just covering all the bases.

Good question. But yes, I'm pretty sure.

If data is involved, make sure it gets deleted properly before selling. Also, get confirmation in an email or paper that they are yours to keep.
