Not to be a killjoy, but winning the grand prize could destroy you on taxes. They list value as 10k- which might put you out 1-4k in taxes (depending on your tax bracket). A lot of people here would have to sell the package to pay the taxes- but the secondhand sale would likely net quite a bit less than 10k.

why do people do that, let the people figure it out, it depends on where they live and how much they make.
if you hate to rain on the parade then dont

Well it is something important with winning prizes that people should know about. If someone decides they'd rather not bother with that I guess they could decline the prize.

Reminds me of the time Oprah gave away all those cars to her audience members. A lot of them were ****ed at the taxes they had to pay for them.

:Newegg might also use this info for marketing purposes, you know.

You sure you would have to cover taxes? That would be $600 here

Of course it's a marketing ploy, but that doesn't mean they aren't giving away goodies!
