All these issues sure put a kink in the fun. I am finding a ton of these issues for this raffle. It is begining to spiral out of control in all this government bureaucracy. No wonder the trade deficit and budget are in such a mess.

It is imperative that organizations holding raffles be aware of the federal income tax withholding requirements. The following was reviewed by the IRS on November 23, 2004.</p> <p>If the prize amount is more than $5,000, the organization must obtain proper identification from the winner (as described above) and withhold 25% of the prize. If the organization is unable to obtain proper identification, they must withhold the higher "backup withholding.</p> <p>Most states also have similiar taxes on Raffle Prizes. (when I won the car in a raffle, California tax rate was 33%)</p> <p>Contest winners are subject to similiar taxes.</p> <p>They all have their hand out to get their share.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 20 Mar 2007 by SPRINTER</p> <hr /><a name="a6304_43"></a><p><b>From: Cap'n Ron (RONSTROWGER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.43">#43</a>]<br /> 31 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: sprinter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.42">#42</a>] 31 Mar 2007</p> It is turning into the give-me-more of my share with the government. Because I am not a non-profit business, raffle across state lines is taboo. Permits would have to be obtained in every state. It seems that there are too many that do not allow these activities. Then there is this taxes thing. I have already paid the taxes on this stuff. Sure seems I should be able to do what ever I want with it! Anyhow, I seem to be running out of options. Seemed fun at the get go. <hr /><a name="a6304_44"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.44">#44</a>]<br /> 1 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Cap'n Ron (RONSTROWGER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.43">#43</a>] 2 Apr 2007</p> Ron,<br /> <br /> Being that the raffle looks impossible, how will you promote the sale of your equipment?<br /> <br /> ebay? <hr /><a name="a6304_45"></a><p><b>From: Cap'n Ron (RONSTROWGER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.45">#45</a>]<br /> 2 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.44">#44</a>] 2 Apr 2007</p> <p>David,<br /> That seems to be the next best thing. I am working with a friend who ebays alot to get the best advice to show the stuff. This will probably be the best low cost avenue. What would you look for when bidding on something like this on ebay?</p> <hr /><a name="a6304_46"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.46">#46</a>]<br /> 2 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Cap'n Ron (RONSTROWGER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6304.45">#45</a>] 2 Apr 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">What would you look for when bidding on something like this on ebay?</div><br /> <br /> I've never listed anything or bid on ebay.
