Any retailer with a presence in California will charge tax. Not aware of any major retailer that'll have product on release date that does not have a California presence.

No getting around it, as far as I know.

Actually, that's changed. A court case last year decided that states can collect sales tax from out of state businesses as well, and many states have begun doing so already. I believe California is among them now, so you will likely need to pay sales tax no matter where you buy the hardware from.

Most if not all online retailers are now charging sales tax. Like Barty said, no real way around it.

Think of that as a partial payment on fixing the pothole in the street in front of your house.

Ebay

Ebay also collects sales tax in many states now, though it looks like they won't start collecting sales tax in California until October...

If buying from a company with a physical presence in California through eBay, you might still need to pay tax even before then though.

Geeze!

You are saying that seven and a-quarter bucks on every $100.00 is going to break you?

Taxes are the price you pay for living in a civilized society.
