Wondering if they were actually giving anything away or not...

Even if I did win I couldn't afford the tax on the prize which will be around $200.00

At $0.09 per dollar, the Rx would be $45 and the LCD-2 $90. Where do you get $200 from?

 

[T-Willi]

135 - 200 close enough. Hmmm maybe we can use that as a tax right off haha

 

[Mentalchaos]

I didn't do the math out right. I just got a basic idea of the cost, and rounded up.

 

[loremipsum]

I was under the impression that they were giving the LCD-2 and the Rx away separately.

 

[HesterDW]

"Headphone and amplifier set". I think the set implies they come together, not sure though. 

 

[grokit]

I should have read the rules. I entered more than once so no worries on the taxes lol, I can't win anyways.

 

[loremipsum]

Oh, I was confused because they were choosing 2 winners, I thought it was one LCD2 and one Rx instead of 2 sets.

 

[BlackbeardBen]

There are (or at least are supposed to be) two sets that include both the headphones and amplifier.
 
Taxes all depend on what documentation they send the IRS, too.  If they don't send anything, the IRS will never know unless they look into the whole sweepstakes.  I'm assuming Gizmodo will want to cover all the bases though...
 
Anyway, deliberate tax fraud is a bad idea.

 

[HesterDW]

Oh ok! Then they wont even be announcing the winners until they're ready to ship these things. WE LOSE.

 

[WhiteCrow]

i'm like 80% sure they would not tax you on these items, as the company could write off the expense and a promotional and or advertising.

 

[schwallman]

I will gladly pay the taxes on this setup. Ive spent more trying to turn my t50s into lcd2s. I want them badly.

 

[WhiteCrow]

when are they anounceing the winners?

I think they only said they'd pick 2 winners on 7/12 and contact them shortly after.  It didn't say they'd announce who it was.
 
If I win I'm giving my old LCD-2 away to my son, if I like the version 2 drivers better.

You're correct. They won't announce the winners publicly. I looked at the previous giveaways, and I couldn't find any announcements with the winners' names.
