Hertiage Auction Net Effective Rate

If they do start cracking down maybe shows will become more popular again. Saving a 20% BP plus 8 or 9% on sales tax makes a big difference, especially on the bigger cards. Not to mention being able to see the card first and take it home the same day.

It's pretty hard to compete against collectors in states that don't have sales tax. That one extra bid they save at the end of an auction is often the difference between winning or losing a card. I've lost a few Memory Lane or Heritage auctions by one bid because once I factor in CA tax it's over my max.

If you set up at card shows in Wisconsin, you are supposed to display a state sales tax permit and collect sales tax. I haven't heard of anyone actually trying to collect sales tax at a show, but I do have an up to date permit with me when I set up. My brother sets up at flea markets and he has seen Wis Dept of Revenue agents coming to flea markets and checking permits.
