It kills me sometimes because I will see items I really like from a california seller and will avoid bidding because of the sales tax. I know that if I put in too high of a bid and it gets bidded up to my max than I could get caught with an expensive additional surprise. I would always rather be patient and buy out of state and save the extra money. It also gives me an excuse to stay within my budgeted means.

I feel bad for the sellers because I see items that I would pay much more for go rather cheap. I know that it may seem like I would get a good deal even with the tax added but I buy so much that I got to focus on some things rather than others particularly on a busy sunday evening. I always ignore the sales tax included auctions.
