[QUOTE="illini420, post: 710036, member: 19423"]There have been some crackdowns recently here in California involving State officials checking dealers at shows to see if they are collecting sales taxes where necessary and then hitting them up with fines if they are not following the law. I heard they have even been fining out of state dealers for not following CA laws at shows. That said, I go to many shows here in SoCal and I buy a bunch of coins and have still never been charged sales tax by any dealer. A couple of times I've had dealers attempt to tack it on to a final negotiated price, but instead I just told the dealer if they felt the need to charge me tax then they'd need to lower their price to where the price + tax equaled our previous negotiated price. 100% of the time that has worked for me. In my experience I've never had a dealer bring up sales taxes prior to the negotiation of a final purchase price though. Sure, sometimes it's because I'm buying coins over $1500 which are exempt from sales tax under CA law, but that is not always the case. Unlike the coin shows, the local coin shops definitely charge sales tax. And with the sales tax up to 9.75% now, and with the typically high prices of the shops to begin with, I do very little business with them!![/QUOTE]
