[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 1189269, member: 34538"] 7% here in Georgia. As someone else said, when you purchase high dollar items or large quantities of items, tax is a factor. Take Costco for example, their max markup is 14% on any item and you pay a membership fee just to have the right to shop there. Don't say if they increased their markup by 7% on everything over night it wouldn't have an effect on their buisness and membership model. Amazon's margins are already razor thin, they receive none of this 7% increase in price. Several websites will price match Amazon's, one of which is Newegg. I'd also like to throw out there to any fellow Amazon members, if you buy it from one of the other third party retailers in the "other buying choices" list, I believe you will not be charged tax, but will loose the prime free shipping part.
