wesman888 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You have to live in a state where Amazon does not charge taxes. If you do then no taxes are applied when you check out. If you really don't want to pay taxes then signup for a red card from Target. You get 5% off any purchase online or in store. That usually covers "most" of the taxes in most states. They are not in California, but when I hit the checkout, it hit me with the TAX... I thought Amazon charges tax on all orders now, aren't they?

justgod Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There is a long and sorted history with CA and internet tax. The bottom line is that Amazon agreed to charge state tax on all orders that are theirs starting some time last year. Since then, Amazon has opened at least two distribution centers in the state. There is just no way around it. What I usually do is this: look at ALL the items for sale on Amazon. Many times, you will find a private seller that charges the same or slightly higher than Amazon, which do not have tax on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesman888 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I cannot believe it... so I called customer service asking why there was tax on my order, and she said she will submit my order to a department and they will review it and refund it... I highly doubt that now since it's on their web page... I had a $50 gift cert from applying their card... So my total is $79.71... Hope they will be nice enough to refund me the 10.71 tax...

nolanfan34 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Made a run of a few Walmarts today. Picked up one Ghost Train for $54, one Wolverine's Chopper for $15, and one Swamp Creature MF for $4. The stores really seem to be random on pricing clearances. One Walmart had a bunch of Quinjets and some other small sets in clearance....for $1 off. Another had stuff on a clearance shelf within the toy section, but no prices listed at all. Everything scanned full price. How often do people usually check back in a case like this, where you know it's going to be marked down eventually?

I think other folks cleared out my Walmart before I got there. The lego aisle is bare. I used to check back weekly at Target when i was trying to get clearance video games. Dunno if that is a good strategy here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Bought an old Rapid River Village a week or so ago and got around to building it, I really like the old cowboys and indians stuff, can't wait for Lone Ranger. Currently trying to find a decent Fort Legoredo for a decent price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spener90 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think the old Cowboys sets are amazing! I would love to see a new fort similar to the old one. Can you imagine what they would be able to do with it now. They are much more detail oriented than they were in the past. Hopefully they make this happen in a year or two.
