When I buy from Amazon, I will now be charged sales tax on the purchase.
Will this affect my purchases?
Well, it's going to make them cost a bit more.
But I don't tend to buy from Amazon with an eye on avoiding taxes, or even getting the item at the cheapest price. I buy from them when they're cheapest and I don't mind waiting for a week or so to get my item. Or I buy from them when they're the only vendor who has what I want to purchase.
I'd spend more to buy from Brownell's or Midway on most gun related things because I don't think Amazon spends a penny to support my rights.
I don't see the addition of sales taxes changing my pattern of purchasing.
I think the sales tax will affect your purchasing patterns just a little bit. It can affect the price of the products that you’re buying. However, given your desire for a more convenient shopping time and getting most of your purchases from Amazon, it won’t have that big of an effect on your purchasing pattern. :D
