Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year

Wow! The envelope said “Dept of Revenue” so I figured it may be my car tags due. I opened the envelope to find a statement that I owed $665 for “use tax” on an amp I bought last year in June.  Shocked is an understatement. Yes, I bought a used amp from a guy in Canada through A’gon. But I paid the tariff on it. Now they also want tax.  However, the amount they are basing it on is over double what I paid for the amp. But had to send it to Don Sachs for repair a few months later. So I wonder if they are seeing that as a separate purchase rather than a repair. They even charged me $43 interest which is more ridiculous IMO.
So the question...Are you required  to pay tax on a used amp or other used  items? Has anyone else encountered this? Yes, I know the states are cracking down on the sales tax. But on used items? Wow

And so far, not one radical leftist has called me a Nazi. I feel vindicated.

    "And, what's your solution to homelessness in this country?"

1.  For the mentally ill who cannot fend for themselves, reopen the mental hospitals that were closed due to ACLU lawsuits so they can get proper treatment and medication to at least lead a life without seeing and hearing demons. Hot showers and three good meals a day would be mandatory. 

2.  For the addicted, mandatory rehab programs, privately run for a profit. The better the outcomes, the more the rewards.

3.  For those who have been priced out of California homeownership, bus them to Pennslyvania. Harsh winters, I know, but a nice house is around $150,000. Rent is cheap too ... especially around January or February.

For the rest who just love living on sandy beaches for free, constructing tent cities in the Mojave Desert would be a good choice. Air-conditioning and rabbit stew provided, of course. 

And your solutions are what, exactly ... besides raising the minimum wage, providing a "living wage, stimulus checks, or a monthly packet containing newly counterfeited money?
