Re: Film is dead...

[Alan P. Hayes]

Any kind of mail order actually. When I'm looking to buy major photo 
equipment, I leave my little town in the hills travel 150 miles to 
New York, usually to B&H photo in order to hold whatever it is in my 
hands then go home and order from their website, thus saving the NYC 
8.25% sales tax. I expect they get a lot of that sort of trade.

I suspect the fact that the US doesn't have national sales tax consistency
really encourages inter-state on-line sales too. It's not the same here, our
pseudo sales tax (GST) is 10% country wide and it's very difficult to get out
of paying it (or rather to claim it back).
