Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax

There is a retailer that advertises in the Absolute Sound that you can buy gear from him without paying sales tax. He is located in Delaware where they don't have sales tax. Being from California that would save me 9.5 percent off the top and that is without even negotiating. I don't know if he charges for shipping or not but it seems like it could be beneficial.

Most manufactures will not allow a dealer to sell an item if there is a dealer in the state you live in. They have ways of getting around that like selling an item as a demo. There is no tax when you buy out of state. You can be a Dudley-Do - Right and pay the tax to the state of your residence when you do your taxes!

Sales tax by all possible definitions is BS tax.
There's an income tax can solve all the taxes.
If there's a possibility to void than use it.

Sales tax is legalized robbery. It exists because it is an efficient collection engine.  It also slows down consumerism.

All of the Internet Sellers I buy from (including Amazon and Tire Rack) add California sales tax to my purchases. But I'm moving to Portland in a week-and-a-half, so that's the end of that---no sales tax in Oregon! The State makes up for it in higher property taxes.
