We'd do well to remove/lower the sales tax from mid-priced items like appliances, electronics, etc. I think that is most of the types of items people go to Delaware for.
You can't go out of state and avoid sales tax for cars, planes, boats, mattresses and furniture (at least by delivery), etc., and there is no tax on clothing. And I doubt many people go out of state for books or trinkets.

You make good points. I wonder what percentage of the tax revenue comes from $100 and up stuff that fits in a trunk.
