| GhaudePhaede010 said: Exactly, since taxes vary from state to state and even county to county, saying it will cost, "$207" may not even be true. To keep the confusion down, the compaines use a set price and allow each state to apply tax to the MSRP (manufacture suggested retail price) of the product. This keeps the manufacturer from being liable when they state a price and it applies in one state but not another state. Saying $199.99 suggests that is what the manufacturer is selling thee item at, and the state/county/whatever will apply THEIR taxes to the product. |
like i said to viper, if you know that ads are without tax there is only as much confusion for you as if you see it on a price tag without and have to pay then a price you don't really know before (even if you know your tax most won't really know the exact price, not to talk about everyone who doesn't live there and want to buy something there)
no clue why ow both of you think people wouldn't understand that price tags have tax included but ads not but they understand that price tags have no tax included but they guy on the check.out tells you another price with tax then...
