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

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???

yogiboy, did you realize that's not the guys you thought it was?

Sure did!

grannyring,
You're from MN right? These laws have existed for a long time. As I said, never heard of anyone paying attention to them.
However, if you purchase a car out of state and want it licensed in MN, you will pay sales tax. Anything that needs a license will be the same.

I try to buy from overseas or Canada as much as I can by mail. Not the audio equipment though, this I buy used here. But if I had to buy an expensive new piece from a dealer I could just ask him to take the price a little lower to cover the tax or I might not even care.
