California to pay 8.25% sales tax or provide resale number.

Why do some sellers have to do this? It doesn't look like he has a store.

I always wonder when I see that. I guess there is no way for anyone to know if it is legit or not? Could be just a way for the seller to make a few extra bucks? [8|]

 

[Lordbud]

I read somewhere that what goes on on ebay, stays on ebay. That's something I agree with, the government is ripping people off at every opportunity taxing already taxed money. So I don't know why some sellers charge sales tax and others don't.

 

[CALDIGR2]

Unless that seller has an antique store open for daily business he has no reason to charge "sales tax". It is simply a scam to glean more money from the unitiated. I have a business, but wouldn't THINK of charging tax on net sales. So far, net sales are unpoliced and non-taxable.

If anyone REALLY wants a New Century hutch I have one that I dug and is available.

[] How much?

In your experience what would be some of the rarest San Fran hutches?
From what I've seen I'd throw these out in no particular order:

Examples I own:
Pine-apple Nectar/Garcia Bros.
Fairmount Soda Works
G. Rottanzi
Lytton Springs Sweet Drinks

Examples not in my collection:
Astorg Spring Mineral Water
Cal Lemonade Seltzer Water Co. (I could swear I have one of these somewhere...)
Phillips Soda Water

I was there at the Golden Gate Pleasanton show at "early lookers" one year when Dale Mooney went running out to his car real
excited -- he'd just scored an amber Eastern Cider Co. hutch...so gotta include that as rare.[:-]

 

[CALDIGR2]

I'll bring it to the BBQ. It ain't out of line, and all trades are considered. I dug a couple of them in a local TOC dump a few years back. Ther were some real nice SF hutchies in that yard. Bottles from front to back, side to side, to 4'. EVERYTHING imaginable.
