Interesting move [overstock.com](http://overstock.com) made to fight this: [http://www.dmnews.com/Overstock-cuts-its-NY-affiliates-due-to-tax-law/article/110571/](http://www.dmnews.com/Overstock-cuts-its-NY-affiliates-due-to-tax-law/article/110571/) > The retailer believes that if it cuts out its affiliate advertisers based in the state, it will avoid charging customers sales tax. And regardless, this is heading to the courts: [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120975963167263401.html?mod=googlenews\_wsj](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120975963167263401.html?mod=googlenews_wsj) I can see NY’s Supreme Court going along with it because they’re elected by the same liberal assholes who put Spitzer in charge so he could come up with this plan in the first place, but then it should get appealed and shot down by the much more conservative US Supreme Court. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > are people really that poor that a few extra dollars on already discounted part’s bothers them? When you place a 1600$ order through newegg, not paying tax helps(ed) a lot. (z2 w/ bluetooth, camera w/ 16gb sdhc card, ram, dvd drive, etc). Really sucks to hear. Although i haven’t gotten that email yet. But i’m definitely glad i ordered when i did. ---
