I know a lot of people look upon the sales tax as an extra cost and try to not pay it but, it is mandated and part of the laws in pretty much every state that if you don't get charged sales tax by the seller, you are required to voluntarily remit and file a use tax return in some form with the state you're in. As states become more and more aggressive in tax collection efforts in the future, don't be surprised when large, highly visible companies like Heritage end up charging sales tax to pretty much everybody. I think it is more a question of when, not if, we're all going to have to pay sales tax on major auction house winnings.

These are used items though. Technically, wasn't the sales tax paid when the items were purchased? Can the government tax something indefinitely?
