Really??? Don't know if you guys have this problem out in MI, but here in NY, we have to add 8.625% sales tax on top of that so, a similiar set up here is: $989.00 (now that's scary!!!)

Wizzard~Of~Ozz · 03-17-2005, 08:47 PM

Should come to Ontario, 911 + 8% Provincial tax + 7% Federal Tax..

Almost everything here is 15% more then what the tag says.

KaiserFish · 03-17-2005, 11:39 PM

Move to Alberta! no PST

just the stinkin' GST. *rants*

apotocki · 03-18-2005, 08:06 AM

As of now, no sales tax on on-line out of state purchases as long as the business has no presence in the state......I lucked out I guess.

Wizzard~Of~Ozz · 03-18-2005, 06:05 PM

apotocki, correct, if I order from BC I only get dinged the "stinkin' GST" (My Mom just moved out to calgary, I've heard people out there were very upset about the whole "GST" thing, wish we could get an idiot in office that can keep his word

I will never add up what I have spent, for I am in complete denial

Especially since I'm sure it would add up into the 4 maybe even 5 number range
