She dosen't have kids, and it dosen't seem like FAO sells any game systems...

Any ideas how she can make any money on this?

She wants the trip, but has NO idea how she would spend $5,000 at FAO

Child's Play

Damn, that was a hell of a deal too

EDIT: Buy lots of legos and resell them.

 

[MixMasterTang]

Buy $5000.00 worth of toys for needy children and feel good about yourself therefore having the best holiday season ever!

 

[sniperruff]

good for her.

"$5,000 can only be used at FAO Schwarz and will be issued
in the form of a gift certificate."

so go, do the tour, and then maybe sell whatever that's left of the GC on ebay?

or she can take me on the tour =P i'll buy her a drink afterwards!

why would she try and buy this if she has no reason to shop at FAO? good job taking it from someone who could have really used it

Charity sounds good to me. That is what I would do if I couldn't use it.

Get some deserving children (note I didn't say "needy," but deserving) together and let them go crazy?

And let's hope she has the $3,000 or so she'll have to pay in taxes on the prize.

Nobody "could really use" $5000 worth of toys...

Do you have to pay tax on the whole prise retail value?
