I have yet to pay sales tax at a flea market in VA where I have bought all the necessities of life: food, clothing, tools, etc.

Me neither, but the VENDOR is suppose to claim the sales tax on his sales ID report (due every yr. I think).
Just like in a dept store except the price at the flea market includes the tax. Otherwise, it's too much of a bother to add .08% to everything.

I doubt it. I buy at prices negotiated on the spot. A dozen pairs of new socks, for example, can be gotten for a few dollars off. I seriously doubt that the retailer is adding up his receipts at the end of the day and sending in 4.5% for all the new merchandise sales.
