should i be paying this much for tax on a gtx 1080?

[thebest21445]

i had made my decision to buy the gtx 1080 founders edition by asus on amazon prime. it was 699.99 as they announced by nvidia, but the tax is $50! i cant believe this. im paying basically 750 dollars now and it says it will be shipped in 2-4 weeks. im nit too experienced in buying high end nvidia cards but is this normal? or should i wait another week or so and then buy it again.

The tax has nothing to do with nvidia.
What is your local tax rate? 7%, right?

If I were to buy, it would be this:

My local tax rate is 6%.

Last I checked you can still dodge taxes on newegg and NCIX. Amazon taxes almost everything now.
