Obscene Musicians Friend Sale

[aceonbass]

Having lived in California for most of my life (I'm back in Kansas now) I'd be interested to know what they're doing with tax dollars that is objectionable. As a side note, remember the days when 28% of their tax dollars went to infrastructure and every graduating high schooler could count on a free college education? I do, and thanks Ronnie for making that a memory

Well the price is good, I called up to order, but the State of California now requires sales tax, and since the state of Califorinia is using my tax money in ways which I don't agree, I canceled my order.

Jerry, try calling SamAsh.com and asking for a price match. No tax from Florida (I think...). They might even match the price with any color. The other alternative is to make a friend in Las Vegas, have them order it from MF (no tax?), and go pick it up (good reason for a road trip). Good luck. Tom

Doesn't sound silly to me.

Well, from my point of view, I don't think the State of California cares if Jerry dosen't buy his bass. I think the only one who's going to be hurting from that idea, is Jerry. Since the State of California is going to carry on just fine wether he buys it or not, he might as well get the Bass he wants.

No, it won't hurt Kalifornia a bit. Their doing quite well hurting themselves.

This sums up what I'm refering to.

I won't say another thing on the subject. Back to Ricks!

[rickenbrother]

Yes please, back to Ricks!

Sam Ash also has nexus in California as well; it's no different. The trick is to have goods delivered in a state where the seller does not operate or a state with no sales tax. Technically, most states still require payment of sales or use tax anyway, with the ultimate purchaser responsible for reporting and payment, but there's no mechanism for them to track this . . . at the moment.

Back to the topic at hand.

Sale is over. MF says eta for 4003 MID is 7-12-12...

The reality is that any Rick purchased adds to the California tax base. Don't forget buiness taxes along with the income tax paid by RIC employees. I also don't doubt that RIC also pays property taxes. The sales tax is most likely just a pittance compared to the rest.

If you're not able to find another one laying around, I can sell you mine. Wait...no I can't. I love it too much!

[jdogric12]

Aw, I missed a tax discussion!



Someone pm me when there is another one, k?

[whoapower]

Got mine with a few issues. Pondering returning it, but also pondering warranty since it is a May 11.

Also thinking about blacking out this MID. Anyone have a picture of one blacked out? Already have the tuners/strings/pickguard/bridge/etc.

[jdogric12]

Just search the register for MID, BT. Blacking out the binding will be tricky.

[qwezirider]

Well and carefully applies Sharpie.
