I'm not looking for a legal battle with Texas or anything like that; I just want to know what my final price is that I'll pay when I make a bid.
I know that if I make a $1,000 bid, I would have to pay $1,195 (their 19.5% juice) + some postage / insurance. So I make my decision on whether I want to make a bid which amounts to $1,225-ish.
But little did I know (nor is it ANYWHERE in their terms) that I would be paying an additional 8.25% sales tax. Had I known that, I could have factored that extra $100 expense into my bidding decision.
Next time, I will know and can bid accordingly. But when it explicitly states in their terms that Massachusetts does NOT pay sales tax unless the Heritage auction is held in Massachusetts, then I don't want to pay the extra 8.25%.
