Gaming and Taxes
Well I have been a gamer since I was a child and had the Atari 2600 and played the crap out of that thing had all kinds of games and kept them in blue crates and it was just when gaming was truly fun. But I was pondering this dilemma I was having I have had many consoles over the years.
- Atari 2600
- Atari 7800
- SNES
- Sega Genisis
- Sega Cd
- NES
- Playstation
- Playstation 2
- Wii
- (Future)
Okay so I have either sold or given away everything else. My biggest regret was getting rid of the Playstation 1. My Playstation 2 died of old age because of the DVD Tray. That was a great system as well. But currently I am in the market for the XBOX 360. They run $399 for the Premium one which has all the goodies. I am stuck on the fence if I should wait for the newer XBOX with the smaller processors, HDMI connector, Larger HDD and they are rumored to come out 6 months from now. But I got to play Gears of War and that sold me on the XBOX 360.
So I have been surfing around the internets and everywhere wants shipping or tax on the things. Here in Washington State you are paying 8.6% I believe. Oregon is just 2.5hrs away and they have no sales tax. I am totally considering rounding up some other geeks in my entourage and making a venture down there to save a few dollars. Alas but if anyone knows something other then eBay where I can avoid sales tax and I can cope with shipping let me know. I would just prefer not to do either. A trip with the boys down to road could be fun. Anyways thoughts?
