how do you buy a watch from an ad with no tax?

Defiancekofb · 27 February 2008, 01:28 PM

Either buy it from an AD, that's located in a foreign country, I.E. Mexico, Caribbean Islands usually they are no tax in the first place (even if you pay with credit card) but getting it through customs is a bitch. Or try to approach a US based AD with a proposition that involves you purchasing the watch in full with cash, but if you go the cash route try to get tax knocked off, along with a certain percent of discount as well.

You could always just wear the watch on the wrist.

Just ask your AD to ship it to your home from an out of state location.

Ship it to a state where the AD doesn't have a branch.

But from an AD in a state that doesn't have sales tax like Oregon.

I personally had mine shipped out of state.

Welcome to TRF Rangel! Just like the others said. You can either have your AD ship out of state or go to a state w/o sales tax (ex: Oregon). It is a bit of a hassle, but it'll save you about 8% sales tax. Good luck!

Luckily I only live an hour an a half from Portland Oregon, where there are a couple of really good AD's and no tax.
