My purchases for the farm are ag use so I don't pay sales tax on it (Ohio). In exchange for building two fulfillment centers and a data center or two in Ohio, Amazon agreed with the state to start collecting state sales tax.
I do always try to support local... So assuming my local Maine dealer will give me good pricing I will probably end up buying here and give Maine the extra $1300 that they/I/We deserve.
For $1300, I would most definitely skip the "Pine Tree state", and go for the "Granite state" instead.
I guess that you're one of those 6 months & a day in FL Mainer eh?:laughing:
This is a free country right? Free to travel anywhere you want. Therefore a legal transaction in any state with or without a sales tax should be of no concern of your state. Would your state want sales tax if you made a purchase in a state that does have a sales tax, it's the same thing the way I see it.
