PWCC Boggles the Mind. New Auctions

I haven't noticed that Goldin provision because I haven't bid there seriously, but that doesn't seem right, that out of state residents pay NEW JERSEY sales tax. Internet sellers typically, where required, collect sales tax on behalf of the buyer's state. No?

I put the spreadsheet together pretty hastily, so yeah, you are right. From Goldin's website: https://goldin.co/conditions

"Unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay New Jersey sales tax on the total purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, on any property picked up or delivered in New Jersey, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business. In addition, unless the purchaser provides GA with a valid resale certificate prior to shipment, the purchaser will be required to pay applicable sales tax where GA determines, in its sole discretion, that it is legally obligated to collect such tax.

If the lot is delivered to a state where GA is not required to collect sales tax, it is the responsibility of the buyer to self-assess any sales tax, use tax or valued-added tax (VAT) and remit it to the taxing authorities in that state or country."

GOLDIN does not charge sales tax.

I just won several lots from them last week and i just rechecked the invoice. No sales tax. So you are wrong.

In addition I only paid $9 shipping (plus insurance) for 3 decent sized lots. +1 for them.

(I won a lot from them several auctions ago which included one obviously trimmed card. I took photos and sent them in. Within 90 minutes they had given me a very satisfactory credit to my account.)

I would hardly congratulate Goldin for low shipping when you factor all the shipping costs together. Last auction my invoice showed shipping of $9.81, $8.00 handling, and $21.65 insurance for a total of $39.46 to my door. This was for one lot of 9 postcards valued around $3k after BP. The same lot would have been $20 from REA or LOTG.

Maybe they don't sell enough into your home state to require them to collect tax but they obviously DO charge sales tax when required to do so.
