Heritage auctions a joke

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Basically Use tax is sales tax paid by the purchaser if the sale is interstate. Nobody, or almost nobody, pays it, but we're all supposed to.

In my state, as long as the purchase is for re-sale, I am not obligated to pay the use tax.

I think the OP (hi Larry) might just have an axe to grind with the AH. It might be because a buddy of his got axed OR he just can't read the rules? Reading comprehension is fundamental to knowing what you are doing. And it seems to be a lost art on the OP. Anyone saying that Heritage is screwing them out of sales tax money is acting like an idiot. You heard it here first.

What is wrong with you people
All that is said is that in a heritage auction you can buy 1 psa card for $50 and depending on where you live pay 50 60 70 % more than your bid
Nobody said its not in their rules
Whats not in their rules is that i can buy a card for 50 and so can my neighbor and both of us pay different shipping charges
When one of you brilliant people explain that please feel free to enlighten us all

Leon...start a poll 2 choices only

As they used to say, let's go to the video tape.

I just won one psa card for $65
Final cost 97.50
Thats right 97.50
14 bp
13 s&h
5.50 sales tax
Now i know we've discussed them before
Obviously could be shipped insured for $3.50
Also if you win a card for less than 70 you still have to pay 14 bp
So if ypu win card for 50 bp is 28%
Also another "criminal act" they charge sales tax on the bp and the shipping and handling
I didnt know i was purchasing the bp and the handling
Why didnt the south florida collection go to them...thats part of it
Along with the fact they have the worst website ever designed

Now, if that's ALL you said, implying that was your only gripe, then why rant about the other stuff? Your original gripe that started the thread didn't even deal with the disparity between shipping costs. That was tacked on later. Granted, and as with myself as well, getting old does cause us to tend to forget things.

Maybe that is what's wrong with 'all these people'?

Added: I figured I'd chime in because I tend to kill off threads and this one deserves that fate.

Yeah...And most of them are into some serious auction house worship.
