Someone else said: > Plus no taxes if your out of state. In some cases, if not most, this involves cheating on your state taxes. States usually have a "use" tax, or something akin, for which one must annually declare the value of items sent or brought in from out of state or out of the country unless a similar tax was collected by the seller. This tax routine existed before sales on internet and was brought about to handle the tax value of mail catalog and telephone purchases from out of state. A catalog representative may be technically correct in advising a buyer that there is no "sales" tax on out of state purchases, but this ignores the obligation to pay the same tax value under another name. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
