no harm no foul. i wanted to assist. my wording is not always articulate and clear as to intent. well, never, really. having been in the situation, i listed some of the methodologies i was presented with and did accept all of the suggestions in varying degrees. a trust, 3 trusted appraisers that were also dealers and auctioneers, and excellent fair market value at time of purchase forensics. the trust still exists, which is funny as heck, since it is a clifford. go figure. you will be just fine. trust yourself first, and weed out from there. the object is not tax avoidance and you don't come across as trying to do that. the object is to pay the least amount of taxes. it is not what you earn, it is what you keep. i am certain you already know that. all that is left is to find the road that meets your goals. i don't have any doubt you will. maybe a modified schedule time table like in an old clifford trust type of vehicle. slow might be better than 1 big crash landing. we don't know until we flesh it all out.

that is always an alternative for everything.

i said the same thing a few times. after i paid unnecessarily, i learned. my post apparently was interpreted as maybe offensive. it was not intended to be, nor was it meant to be condescending. yes, it will be reported by a reputable dealer as required by law. breaking down the size of the sales to less than 10k will not change the law., withing the time period required by the law. it is not a matter of legal rules. it is a matter of real life. since you are familiar and know the legal and tax aspects, what would you advise your client? set up a trust? consign to a reputable auctioneer that will assist in fair market value? determine fair market value and whether or not there are benefits by donation of a certain portion? researching the fair market value at the time of your purchase? speaking privately to the dealer that are members here? you don't have any receipts. where would you advise a client to start?

i would not rely on members here to advise on a complicated exchange with possible deleterious tax implications. it is well worth the cost to meet with a cpa and attorney for an hour or so. the alternative of a misinformed decision will most assuredly be quite a few multiples of that cost. i know first hand there are many attorneys and cpas in nj that can protect your position.

check to make certain it is not from: info@newspark.net.ua (all lower case no spaces).

please don't feel my issue. it has not attained final elevation....i mean evolution yet.

considering your respected profession (and my admiration of same), i am giving the benefit of the doubt that you are exercising a modern example of the bard satire technique.

never give up! never concede!

15 or 13?

for what it is worth, i will share that the masks skypinkblu has made are multi-physician and multi-nurse approved, and are used constantly in an intense medical setting, do not lose strength or stitching or fabric wear even after multiple washing/drying cycles, can even withstand steam autoclave sterilizing, and are especially prized by healthcare providers for the extra pocket protection and excellent adjustable full face coverage. the persons i am referring to bypass the normal ppe masks available and use these masks. you get what you pay for. and then some. good job. really. good job.

this is true.

carroll only sold, he did not give. ever. for anybody. i don't think i could buy a 40 if i wanted to... only 4 known, i think? i would not trade it for any comic if i could have bought one, though. i would blow my face off, first. interestingly, there are 2 pooper survivors. go figure> back to comics. i got nuthin, because i am a jonny quest dufus. i can't even buy a yugo with that credential.

should have bought a ken miles pooper.

his house?

the flim flam man. always selling. never stop selling.

some very iffy and concerning advice in this thread.

existential business.

call earp. now. he is over in the saloon with doc. no guns in cgc dodge.

how else could he become a target here, if he wasn't? everybody has a plan. everybody. nobody said it has to be a good one. i know. god knows i know. i could be a darn improper dissent methods coach in a university.

i have seen him before. he can take billy. and shane.

? do you mean posting about a facebook post ? i hope so, because if cgc is now a facebook thread, i am in deep poopoo. i am interested in the vaseline, though. i have my needs....

or not....

freudian key to the whole issue.
