Why do CA, NJ, and TN have to pay sales tax?
Newegg Support said:Classic pics. I sent it to all of Newegg to view. We love it, and would like to see more of these Newegg pictures if any are out there.
You are also right about the taxes. We currently have about 8 warehouses stationed throughout the United States. Consequently, the state charges tax to any orders placed within the states where we keep inventory. We wish we could avoid charging it, but we have to obey the law.
If you are a reseller, you can submit a tax exemption form, and the taxes will be removed from your order.

P.S.
I apologize for any delayed response. I don't always get to spend as much time searching the forums, so I may miss a question. If this is the case, please feel free to PM me and I will be sure to give you a timely response.
I believe it's a reference to F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," Gatsby lives in West Egg (across the water from East Egg, both districts of Long Island, NY) and owns a lavish mansion where he throws parties every week. The West Egg is a neighborhood for people of 'new' wealth, who have gained their money through business ventures in the 1920s. They spend their money on gaudy cars and mansions, and Gatsby himself holds parties just to be loved and recognized. The East Egg is where the wealth has existed within families for generations, and I believe is where Gatsby's love, Daisy, is from. Gatsby basically tries to use his new found cash to try and raise himself to the same social status of those in the Old Egg.cripy said:what the hell does newegg mean? I just have to ask :\
