WIN A HEARSE

[bODYBAGGING]

Hey everyone, as you know I tried to sell our custom Show hearse during the winter, on every available site, only to be met with crickets chirping in the back ground...LOL got to love the economy, well luckily for us we did not sell her, because as of June 30th our investor for our Haunted House Backed out on us, leaving us HIGH and DRY for the seasons advertisement...
desperate times call for desperate measures and we have decided to Raffle off Lost souls, in fact if this is successful we will be raffling off a custom hearse every year afterwards as a promotion for DarkSyde Acres Haunted House In Michigan....
anyway details.... 3000 tickets one lucky winner drives home in Lost Souls...... take her dont Break her!
check out additional details and ticket purchases at www.winahearse.com

What if an out of state person plays or wins, what happens?
I would love the chance to win it, I have people in Michigan who could pick it up for me but I couldn't find any rules on the site, that or I missed them.
Thanks

Heya Kaptin, good to see you!
The rules for that are under prizes. by placing it on the net, I assume that chances are it will be won by a out of state party.... I really would love a hearse person or Haunt person to get this girl....... As for having someone pick her up, it wouldnt be a problem as long as we have something signed By you and Notarized that it would be legal to release her to your friend.
PRIZES

local license, title, registration, taxes, or fees associated with the vehicle, as well as insurance (proof of which must be shown prior to possession)

I wouldn't destroy her if I won her, it's the noteriety, plus, a member of my club has a haunted house in AZ. I would probably use it to help advertise his business. His haunted attraction hearse is bleaching from the AZ sun & I would help him out, so this would benefit him as well as me. Thanks for the information.

id love to win her but idk how id get her home being 16 and all its hard to manage things

Let me know if you get the full 30K. If that works, I think I'll raffle my car off the same way!

I have a question... is the drawing going to take place regardless if you don't sell all 3,000 tickets by midnight on October 31, 2010? Your official rules say:

A maximum/minimum of 3,000 entries will be sold for the Raffle.
All entries must be received by 11:00p.m. on October 30th, 2010, to be eligible for this drawing. Drawing takes place on October 31, 2010 at Midnight . Should all 3,000 entries
be sold prior to stated drawing date, then the drawing will occur
three days after the maximum entries have been reached.

The way this reads it sounds like all 3,000 tickets must be sold by Halloween? Please explain this better in your official rules because alot of us will buy several chances on the hearse raffle once the rules are clarified.
The raffle is a really neat idea to fund your haunted attraction!

I don't need another car, but I'll throw in on some of this action. Shit, I think the entire hearse community will buy tickets!

Just a quick thought because I am super sketchy when it comes to stuff like this. How do we know this is really legit?

[R U INJRD]

Who exactly is the non-profit organization that is receiving the proceeds from the raffle?

[maximpakt]

Ok, I bought in for a few.

Just looked at the rules. The website states the coach’s value at being $9050.00. Which is more than the $5,100.00 dollar non taxable prize limit set by the IRS. (This info is all on the website.) What's not on the website is the amount the government expects to receive when a person claims a prize of exceeding value. If you win, at the time of claiming your prize you owe the government roughly 1/3 the value of the listed value of the prize, in this case a rough estimate would be just under $3000.00. If you can't pay that, or don't claim it and get caught, Uncle Sam won't be happy with you and will come after your ass!
A ten dollar ticket is a ten dollar ticket, unless you win. Then it’s more like a $3010.00 ticket.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Great idea !! Good luck on the Raffel .... Have to go check the web site for more info .....

Good call Musikill! I was about to post the same thing.

Rob, the raffle is a good idea, there was actually a goth club here locally that raffled off a hearse a while back and I know that they made a decent amount of money on the item so it's a solid plan. If I may offer my 2 cents -

The taxable value is going to kill this thing if it's too high. Sadly the bastards in government just don't like anyone getting a decent bonus in life if they can't get their filthy hands on it and as such I think you're going to have a LOT better luck reporting the value at say $1000 (not doubting your estimates by any means but reporting it for less will have fewer burdens for the winner)

My other recommendation, if you have to sell 3,000 tickets to make this thing happen (which sounds like the case) then I would really advise putting this EVERYWHERE. Make a Youtube video for it, post it on Myspace pages (Comments sections) make a facebook page, target goths, hipsters, metal kids, EVERYONE YOU CAN on the net. The hearse message boards are great but they're a bit limited on exposure.

Take care man and good luck!

Hey Guys! I wasnt notified of the responses so sorry for the late delay on responding.
1. The website is being updated for the few typos, one being the 3000 min-max wording, it has been changed to 3000 max..
In all honesty we are hoping to sell 1000 tickets
2. The Non profit group is wicked jester
3.As for knowing if its REALLY Legit, well Thats a Hard one to answer, the permit has been filed, and everyone that knows me within the Haunt~Horror Industry knows that BodyBag Entertainment is standup. other than that I really dont know what to say otherwise.
4. we added a FAQ page to help with some guestions as well,
5. This Hearse will be raffled off regardless of numbered tickets sold....
6. These Great Vendors have also donated prizes for the runner ups
