I won a Bumblebee Camaro from GM sweepstake!

Seriously... why would you put that up on Ebay? Don't you have any idea what you're giving up?

Exactly. There's no guarantee that it will look at all like that. I almost bet, it's just a rally yellow with the flat black stripes. I gave up the BB look because of the current color and stripe choices. I think they really missed the boat on this one, but either way, I've moved on to IOM. Can't wait to see what this goes for

If i remember correctly I think you were saying something about some financial trouble for the reason you are selling it right?

[avol2]

WOW.... selling it on EBAY? yipes.... that's a shame...

have to include that 40k on your income taxes to as winnings... yipes...

from the IRS
"Prizes and awards Subject to certain exceptions, the cash value of prizes or awards won in a drawing, quiz show program, beauty contest, or other event, must be included on the tax return as taxable income.
Taxpayers must also report the fair market value of merchandise or products won as a prize or award, as taxable income.For example, both a $500 cash prize and the fair market value of a new range won in a baking contest must be reported as other income on Form 1040, Line 21."

Hi -

First, congratulations!

I had originally posted a note here advising you to dig deeper and to call GM to make sure that these guys are legit, but a quick Google search reveals that.. they seem to be! Wow, congrats again!

[Travis64]

Hi guys,
Well I will try to smooth things out a bit for all of you. I should be receiving the car by the end of this week they are finishing stripes, paint and waiting for a part John Fitzpatrick said he would call me when it is on the way.

It is the factory yellow because GM said the warranty would be voided if they took body parts off to be painted I don't think it is right but what are you going to do. It will have special Bumblebee striping, stitching and I saw on this forum that there will be autobot emblems. I don't know everything because they want it to be a surprise.
I got the VIN and put it on ebay as you already know and yes I should wait until 06/24 and take some pics but my reasons for selling have been waiting too long. My mother should be retired and she is still working to try and make her retirement comfortable, not right in my book she has always helped and done for everyone else and now it is her time so I am going to set her up so she doesn't have to work anymore. No I don't want to sell it but I think I am doing the right thing at this time.

I did not get the signatures because those people think that if you are not a star you are nobody, Megan Fox manager gave me an email to someone at Paramount and said he would know when they were all together so it would be easier to sign the engine cover she was very helpful Dominique Lappel. The PR manager at Paramount said no way not a chance they are way too busy, he didn't even ask them I am sure some would have signed, this movie was a big thing in their carears.

And I do suck at Ebay I meant to put it on ebay motors and accidently put it in the classifieds but everything is fixed now. I will be talking with ebay tomorrow and do any fine tuning that needs to be done.

Hope I answered all questions and if not let me know and I will fill you in with what I know, this forum is awesome.

Guys, look, this is ocolgans camaro auction.

[TAG UR IT]

Dude....really now.

I just found out that you have it listed on EBAY?!?!

YOU DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE CAR YET!!!

I am sorry...but, if you want to sell this car and make the most profit, common sense says to wait until you have the pictures and the car in hand. By posting pictures, people will know what you have and what they are buying.

GET RID of that auction and wait until you have the darn car!

You will get tens of thousands more if you wait and repost with pictures!!!

[Xmicro_SS]

I bet that car goes for $60K Plus. What a jackpot, I would sell it, buy a 2SS RS for $40K and bank the other $20K also. Sweet car and 1 or 3.....now that is a collectable!

[Supercop29]

what ever the car is priced at..... 38% is what uncle sam gets for his taxes when you win the beauty......... $40,000 = $15,200
