Money Moral Dilemma: Time to sell gift for big bucks?

A friend recently bought me an old clock from a car boot sale, which is now sitting on my mantelpiece. My brother, who knows about antiques saw it and said it’s worth hundreds of pounds. Should I sell it and split the money with the friend who bought it and risk offending her, sell it and keep the money so she doesn’t know or try and forget it’s worth anything and keep it (even though I could use the extra cash)?

A question about : Money Moral Dilemma: Should I pay more towards bills?

Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:

I earn more than my flatmate - should I pay more?

I rent a flat with a friend. I earn nearly twice as much as she does, but we split bills and rent equally. She's never complained, but she sometimes struggles. Should I contribute a larger share to help her out?

A question about : Am I allowed to post my own Poll?

It is relevant as a consumer topic. It's called Online reviews vs Evidence of expertise using Survey monkey. Just wanted to check this was OK or if there's anywhere else on here it would be more appropriate? I read the forum Rules FAQ's and can't see anything about this in particular (unless I've missed it).

A question about : MoneySaving Poll: Should a man take paternity leave instead of a woman?

Poll started 25 November 2014

Should a man take paternity leave instead of a woman?

From next April, maternity leave can be transferred to men for the first time (or the other partner in a gay relationship). We thought we’d test how desired this actually is.

So please choose the option closest to how you would WANT to do things in your case.
