Also won my first Heritage item last night and was bummed with the sales tax and $35 shipping for one card. I suppose it’s my fault for not digging into the fine print but it definitely gave me a bad taste.

Lucky it wasn't a more valuable card . . .you would have seen a line item for insurance I'm guessing.

All of this is disclosed clearly by Heritage. Sucks but it's all there. We forget many times caught up in the euphoria of try to "win an auction" in the middle of the night. Or morning. I live in Jersey. For LOTG, Goldin, REA I have to assume a 30% vig on top of what I am paying for anything I am lucky enough to "win".

The world of auctions is usually pretty transparent about pricing-- that's why invoice charges are really sneaky. No other way to say it. Lesson learned. I'll just never EVER buy from them again-- I'll stick to the auction houses that somehow manage to operate without charging sales tax.

At some point in the not too distant future, my guess is, they (AH's) will all have to charge sales tax. We just need to figure it into our equation. As far as being sneaky it is on the buyers ignorance for not knowing. I have made the mistake too but it wasn't the other parties fault, it was mine. To each their own....

If you set up a vault account with PWCC, you can have the card shipped to them and placed in storage with them, and you’ll pay no sales tax, because Oregon is sales tax exempt.

You are in Connecticut and they don’t have a presence there. Why did they charge you tax?

As someone pointed out above me, I think they voluntarily do it on CT behalf. eBay also just started collecting sales tax this month for those living here, so I suppose it’s inevitable that this policy will continue to expand in the future.

Definitely makes me re-think the way I purchase cards moving forward. I think using the buy/sell boards here and other places might be the best bet.

There was a update about a month or so ago on new cities that will be sales taxes. Georgia was one, so i am aware to be cautious. Just bid accordingly.
