RE: MD: Shrp boom box md
I just ordered a Sharp MD722 from Mercata.com. Although there is a tax column in the invoice that was sent to me, the tax amount was listed as 0.00. New Mexico does have a sales tax, but, like every online merchant that I have purchased from, no tax was charged.

I'll be that even the "big boys" "shave" they pay to outside states. Think about it. A state outside of the state you are located in can not audit your sales tax books because you have no legal obligation to collect the tax in the first place.

Anytime that a state collects any sales tax from a company not located in that state it is a "gift" Though technically the buyer is supposed to voluntarily pay the state tax, this almost never happens. So any tax the state gets from out of state is "found money". Be careful of buying from neighboring states. I once bought $1000 worth of audio equipment from a mail order company in NYC. Three years later I got a letter from the PA tax department telling me that the NY business had a tax audit and I owed PA $60 plus interest. They didn't give me very long to pay it either. If that ever happens again, I'm going to tell them about all of the mail in rebates that I received as far as the statue allows you to go back and request a refund plus interest. If someone filed a class action suit against a state already have financial troubles, if you won you might bankrupt the state. I really think that a person would have a strong case with regard to rebates. Why should a mail in rebate differ from an instant rebate? If you receive an instant rebate, you are only taxed on the price that you actually paid. On a mail in rebate, just because there is a delay, our actual purchase price is still the price you paid in the store minus the rebate.

FM can be a little quirky. What I don't understand is they didn't even put a mike input on it. The silly MD people just don't seem to get the picture that musicians, and there are a lot of them, from beginners to pros, want to record with a mike. Now here is a another comment that I recieved on the unit. Subject: No mike input on the Sharp combo unit To: "J. Coon" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Jim, I bought one of these from Mercata a couple of weeks ago and like it a lot. But it does not have a mike input. It automatically copies CD's and cassettes to MD. Even puts in separate tracks at the pauses. Thanks for your on going info. I would never have discovered MD if it were not for you.
