Unless all other competition doesn't charge me taxes I'm not leaving amazon.

Yeah, I love Amazon. But some people do get charged tax at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468512#which) and may have other loyalty programs connected to the stores mentioned. I imagine if it's successful, they'll expand to other vendors. But Amazon sets the bar very high for selection, price and customer service, so they have their hands full, imo. Good to see alternatives, however...always good for marketplace.

OT....I love your sig DB!

 

[Horhay]

I know that, I am just happy not having to pay 10% on everything.

Damexican-hmmmm, that's strange I love it too Yeah, I think Josh Holloway did a crappy job in the scene when he got down with "Kate" on LOST. If only I had made the appointment to be a stand-in-extra that morning....would have shot the ratings into the stratosphere...

Yup, last year there was a rumor that Amazon would open a distributing center here in California...that would have ruined everything for me..glad it didn't happen. No jobs were created, but I am still not paying taxes works for me

 

[digitalbabe]

Yeah that definitely would have been the demise of no tax in CA. On big box electronics, it really rips you a new one....
