envelopes and also do you post your entries anytime or at a particular time during the promotion?
I am only asking as I am curious!
Looking forward to your responses |
I have only always used plain white envelopes never anything fancy..... |

I think I am depressed too!!
My best was $1000 from Yahoo last year and a $500 weekend to the Retreat (which Mum and I are going on next weekend!!!).
On reflection though, I am not entirely sure that I ENTER enough of the big prize offereing comps (other than Pepsi and LA Ice). I don't have a
current passport and am a bit put off overseas travel at the moment (never thought THOSE words would come out of MY fingers!!).
I suspect I forget to enter many of them and that I primarily enter the little things ERGO that is what I win!
I resolve to make a bigger effort on the larger prize pools using that WONDERFUL Premium Report sorting on prize pool.
We shall see......
Congrats to all those superwinners (it's a bit like the masters comp on Sale of the Century). I sincerely hope to join you one day! |

For the people who won cars, did they keep them or sell them?
I'm just wondering what to do if (A BIG IF) I ever won an expensive car worth over $50,000 when I have a hungry mortgage beast. |

I sold all mine the first went on a big family car, the next one turned into a kitchen reno and the third became a Buell motor bike and some extra
cash to invest. |

I haven't won a car but I'd be the same and be tempted to sell it to pay of a chunk of the morgage.
Or as I have a fairly new car but now out of warranty I might sell the one I have and keep the newer one with the warranty.
Oh.. It's nice to dream.. |

I hope this isn't straying too much from the topic, but I've often wondered how strictly the promoter's adhere to the 'prizes are
not transferable, exchangeable or taken as cash' clause in the terms and conditions. For a really big prize such as a trip or a car, would you be
able to exchange it for a different trip, or take the cash. Or would you have to sell it yourself, losing a lot of the value in the process? Just
curious. |

When I went to pick up the car I won, the dealer made me an offer as soon as the Revlon Rep left the lot. Course I refused and sold it privately for
$2,500 more than the dealer offered.

I've heard that if you win a car you have to keep it for 12 months before you can sell it. Is this right? Thanks |

A family friend won a Rav 4 a few years ago and kept it for one year before selling. The only reason for this is that otherwise she would have had to
pay capital gains tax! Hope this helps!
Maybe ask your accountant to check if that is still the same or if it has changed! |

Well I have won 3 , one sold the day I picked it up, the others sold within the year,no tax, there is something about selling more than 3 cars in a
year and you need a dealers licence. We went into it and there was no tax. My advice get rid off it as soon as you can, there's always a new
modle round the corner to drop the price on yours. |

When you sell it, do you have to declair the money as income? |

I shouldn't think so as long comping is your hobby and not your primary source of income.
Otherwise you could be a professional comper and declare all your prizes but claim telephone, envelopes, stamps, internet etc as business expenses. |

rude question can you people who've been so lucky as to even win one car, and/or one trip, etc., mind adding and or editing your posts to tell us

My top ones (or should I say bottom ones?) are:-
1. Lotto wheel spin, Big TV 63cm around 12 years ago was worth $1200 then, now outdated, won this as 2nd prize instead of big cash if had been first!

2. Run around supermarket $1,000 cash, plus grocery grab $200 on top years back - from newspaper comp coupon 6 entries only, great.
3. Continental DVD player $529 in 02 store comp maybe 5 entries, nice as didn't have one.
4. 96 mini tins of friskies plus Breakfast at Tiffanys movie - $150? maybe 10 entries, happy felines.
5. Plants Plus, Pots & Shadecloth $500 in 03 - from their newsletter 25 words, 1 entry only!, lovely something for me.
6. Family Circle corning ware $119 in 03 for cooking question, 1 only
