I believe from talking to someone at Heritage that *all bidders* will be charged sales tax. If not now, then very soon. They'd prefer to charge the buyers than to get in fights with individual states that want to collect.
In other words, we'll all get to suffer together.
Oh, and the point about consignors getting the short end of the stick with these increases is exactly right.
