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.

I live in Connecticut which has one of the most repressive tax systems in the country. Seventy-six new taxes were added a couple of years ago, additional taxes were imposed this year, and there are more to come. All this while the Democrat politicians' unchecked spending is driving the state into bankruptcy. General Electric has been forced out of the state by the upcoming new business taxes.

Buying out of state to avoid taxes is not a "violation" in Connecticut: It is an obligation.

I've lived in Southern California for 76 of my 77 years on the planet. I can say without a doubt ... California charges taxes for merely existing. If the state legislators could charge California citizens for oxygen intake they would. The last time gasoline reached a low, the state added an additional 7.5 cents per gallon tax and passed the country's first carbon tax on energy producers. The result? Gasoline jumped a dollar per gallon over night. Now, with oil going under $30 per gallon, we are still paying almost three bucks per gallon at the pump. 

Pay a tax on out of state Internet purchases? Who ... me???
