Well I hate to break it to you, but your state seems to
collect sales tax at flea markets:

It is collected at flea markets in California, but not usually added to the price by the seller.

IMO the amount of sales tax lost at flea markets doesnt compare to that lost by legal manuverings by high priced tax lawyers.

It would have to be estimated from gross receipts. Prices are negotiated so receipts will be the word of the retailer. He can sell three and report two at half price unless every item is tracked and fair market value is applied. In other words I have never seen any evidence that taxes were collected or that they even could be collected accurately.
