I won a couple cards from Heritage last week. I forgot about the sales tax. Cost me an additional $100.

Seems like that last tax free frontier will be Flea markets, tag sales and private sales.

An unrelated gripe about COMC. Yesterday I wanted to make an offer on a 3K or so card. I couldn't do that unless I put 3K into my store account and as far as I could tell Paypal was my only option. I did so. The offer didn't work so I asked for a refund. They refunded me today, so far so good, but Paypal tells me the funds won't clear for 3-4 business days. Obviously I won't be out anything, but seems like a big hassle just to make an offer for a card and doubt I'll do it again. I get that it prevents tire kickers, but still.

Eventually there will be sales tax on all sales over the internet. It will be more fair to brick and mortar retail which has been getting decimated for years.
