You can’t blame BB for having to collect sales tax, they don’t get to keep it, it goes the state, and they have to collect it by law.
You know what else? That purchase on Amazon, you are bragging about not paying tax on, you are in most cases SUPPOSED to self report at the end of the year when you file and send in the sales tax... So that’s apples and oranges.
As to the extended warranty you choose whether or not to buy that, so again, that’s an unfair comparison.
Not defending BB here, but seriously, expecting you are can get them to eat the tax and give you an extended warranty for the same price you saw advertised on amazon for the item is silly.
If you bothered to take the time to read and comprehend what I wrote, I was the one who made that exact point. Including the fact that sales tax was out of their control and not a negotiation point.
In the future please read more carefully. Thank you.
