In what states do they add sales tax? Is it only CA, FL, IL, NY & TX?

NJ now too. Between LOTG, REA, Golden, those of us in Jersey sure get hit a bit.

As a side note, I personally, really don't like the terminology "charges sales tax". Businesses collect sales tax. As Leon sales, it is the government that charges sales tax, not the AH. I'm sure all AH would love to not worry about collecting it just as much everyone would love not to pay it.

Not to mention legally, you are required to report it on your own taxes as use tax if the company does not collect it in your state,

I pay enough taxes. And literally 80% gets phased out as a deduction with the 10k limit this year. If I cannot even deduct taxes off my taxes I say I’m paying too much taxes. So the hell with them and me reporting it!

For several Heritage Auctions, I was outraged that my winning bids were somehow subject to Fl tax. My thinking was that if the point of sale was Texas, why poor me in the Sunshine State had to endure another 6.5% on already expensive items. It wasn't until I went over to their office here in Palm Beach, saw it was a lot more than a PO box and quietly kicked a few tires realized it was all legit. If you can't bear it, don't bid.
