Florida does indeed impose a 6% sales tax but, of course, nothing for out of state transactions, as they shouldn't. The AH in question has an office here in Palm Beach, but that shouldn't matter since the point of sale has been in Texas.
And I sure hope that Florida received all the sales tax I have been charged over many years.

John,
I answered this for you before. Since the auction is handled remotely online, and the items are shipped to you at your Florida residence, the point of sale where you actually take possession of the items you won is at your house, where you opened your mail. It is not in Texas where Heritage is headquartered, and your items supposedly sent from.
That is also why no matter where you live, if you walk into a store and buy an item there, and take possession of it at that time, that store location becomes your point of sale. Not where you live, nor where the headquarters of the store you just bought an item from is located.
