BRS $65,000 Dream Reef Giveaway!

[BroccoliFarmer]

Not saying it is, but it is pretty common for places to do giveaways like this that have sketchy resale value so once the winner realizes the tax bill they have to decline the prize. They get all the publicity for free in the end.

That is actually a common practice on how to pay taxes...that they resale value is actually less that the stated value and the IRS takes lower of cost or market. It will most likely be challenged via a mail audit..but a regular accountant should know how to deal with it. But given BRS said 'dont worry about it', they have it covered. COOL BEANS BRS!!!

We've got a plan for those pesky taxes, so no need to even discuss it. Ryan and Randy will explain more on a future livestream Let's get back to dreaming what it would be like to have this reef in your house!

That's even more awesome of you guys to take taxes into consideration.

No if you would just put Neptune gear on sale for me.

So the big question: Neptune SKY or EcoTech Radion G5?

 

[Susan Edwards]

A question for everyone, since I'm at work during the time of these streams and haven't been able to watch -

Is this similar to the last big tank that they gave away, in that you need to be online when they pick your name out of the hat and if you don't answer within a certain amount of time, you lose and it goes to the next in line? Just checking to see if I need to find some way to watch the giveaway stream. =)

They’ve already picked a preferred reefer (who has logged in at least once this year), we’re just waiting for the big reveal.

Right, but regardless of when they picked this lucky individual - if they're not online during the stream, does it then go to the next person in line if they don't answer within X minutes?

Bulk Reef Supply,

Thanks for the input. This thread was going sideways. This is an incredibly well thought out gift, no matter what. The idea of providing the recipient with options goes way beyond anything else I've see. I can't even imagine being able to tryout Skys, Radions and Kessils all on the same tank, let alone own them.

Just watched part 2 - What a treasure chest

 

[Bulk Reef Supply]

Episode 3 tomorrow morning - same time, same place! Only hint we'll give...most of this is an experience that money can't buy!

EDIT: Please see post #124 of this thread for an update to how we're going to do this

Whats up with all this "taxes" nonsense. Im ready to go Hollywood and not pay taxes. With a 65k tank you are entitled to the elite status in this country and taxes are optional.

 

[Tamberav]

I like this better then something you have to enter 15 different ways and blah blah. Very nice.

Just please have someone to help bring it into a house lol

Sadly Europe is excluded

 

[Sleeping Giant]

I hope I win, it would be amazing.

 

[Midrats]

I buy stuff there all the time, not sure I'm a preferred reefer though. Does it cost extra like Prime or something?

You just sign up, no pay at all

So like a grocery store loyalty card. Why not just treat all customers the same?
