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.

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.teeder wrote:Doesn't sound silly to me.
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.beatbyrd wrote:Jerry, try calling SamAsh.com and asking for a price match.

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.johnhall wrote:Sam Ash also has nexus in California as well; it's no different.

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!RIC_FACTORY wrote:Guess I missed out.
