I am new here and new to cards. However I was told by MANY people that "Ben North" is a know-it-all who rudely posts things....

My guess is he got on here 5,000+ posts ago when moderator did not care if people used there real name. Now things are different and you are still operating under your fake name.

I am hereby calling you out. At the very least moderator should make you privately prove to him your real name. Right?

Just tell me you like the idea Ben and I post my ID in a heartbeat.

LOL, so Matthew you have a friend with the name you are using on here.

I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes. One thing that really bothers me is that as collectibles, these cards can be sold again and again which means that multiple people can pay taxes on the same piece of cardboard. I understand taxing "new" (unused) items, but collectibles? Can someone rationalize that for me?

I can't. It seems like collectibles are collateral damage here. But what do the states care...It's more money for them. Reading this thread it's comical how many people seem joyous about being overtaxed. Tax on shipping? Come on.

I just used my ebay bucks, and virtually every cent of it went to cover the taxes of the card I bought. So disappointing. Instead of getting a nice discount on a pick-up, it basically just got me back to where I would've been if I paid full retail in a tax-free state. And adding to the dismay, when was the last time ebay offered a 15% coupon code?? It's a suckfest out there.

Same with a used car or boat. The rationalization is simple: politicians exist to spend your money.

Poor comparison. Cars and boats are regulated by the government. Cards, forks, socks, knick knacks, t-shirts, posters and most of the things people sell on ebay, are not.

Maybe we should be required to get a license and register our baseball cards and underwear too?

Just move to tax friendly Delaware. No tax consequence, problem solved!

It doesn’t matter....Doesn’t one big eBay auction guy call his cards

Critical Investment Pieces...it’s a market Place.....all BS

Btw - unless this has been discussed before and I missed it: this seems to be the actual function of the PWCC vault. No sales taxes in Oregon.

No it’s actually a front if you ask me....

Absolutely! Underwear should be taxed, regulated, and licensed.

I figure from all the stuff I've bought and sold tax free on E-Bay since I started in 1997 I'm well ahead of the game.. No problem here..

If ones underwear is considered lethal, would a concealed carry permit be required?

Very likely...and the incontinent would be required to apply for an oversize load permit.

And a HAZMAT (hazardous materials) licence too.
