Sales Tax on Gunbroker.com

As with auction premiums, the effect of the taxes will be to depress sale prices so that the buyer is still only paying what he/she is willing to bear. The seller makes less, Gunbroker makes less on the reduced sales price, and Gunbroker's costs go up having to collect and remit the taxes.

Well, as I am in Fairbanks, Alaska, I don't pay any sales tax. It's been voted down citywide and statewide so many times I've lost count. The dirty beggars (politicians) keep trying though. It's all in the word: Politics: Poli is "many", tics are "blood sucking parasites". See? poli-tics.
