I have no idea what that would be about; it definitely isn't sales tax for CA.

LOL! It's far too low to offset Texas size pains in the butt.

A customer service rep told me this morning that PSA "charges sales tax for Texas". I told her if that was the case, it's the incorrect amount. Like most states, Texas Sales and Use taxes vary, based on where you live. 6.25% is the statewide number, but local municipalities can add up to 2.0% more. So an arbitrary 6.6% makes no sense.

I then asked her for their Texas Sales and Use Tax permit number, or, at the very least, what corporate name it had been issued under.

Response was silence. (I had already checked the State Comptroller of Public Accounts. No permit has been issued under the names of Collectors Universe or PSA.)

She promises that a "supervisor" from the "Accounting Department" will call me back after they get to work. Apparently, they don't start work until "after 9:30 or so.")
