One of the things that I about Amazon was that my orders didn’t get dinged with sales taxes.
That was then, this is now.
In 2013, I was disappointed to see Amazon start collecting sales taxes in Virginia (my home state).
But, no collected sales tax in Maryland – next state over – where we have a summer vacation shack. shack and a branch of the family tree.
Hmmm …
The arbitrage opportunity evaporated in 2014 when Amazon started collecting sales tax in Maryland.
Nuts.

Some recent purchases sparked my curiosity . What’s going on? Are there still arbitrage opportunities?
