South Dakota vs Wayfair.

Now 32 states so far have online retailers collect sales tax for them. Add in shipping and suddenly a good deal turns into a bad deal.

Auction houses on online spoon sales charge up to 26% of hammer price as a commission plus your states sales tax and shipping. Auction houses always charge a little vig to cover the cost of providing online bidding services which they dont charge in person bidders. Which gives advantage to the in person bidders..who would be charged sales tax if not a dealer. Somehow I think things ain't gona be the same anymore for these guys.

In NV a spoon being received by a FFL charges sales tax plus background check fees. Now anything purchased online gets taxed.

I just got nicked on the purchase of a Dillion 550b wt a set of dies..hammer was 275 with fees and tax it comes to 331 plus shipping from ny..spell this as being heavy.

My butt hurts already...

I have said it before govt is getting desperate for money and are going to get it from you one way or another. I am lucky cause my buying days are pretty much done.
