Compliance with the law in California

Compliance with the law in California
« on: July 14, 2011, 06:12:46 PM »
For those in California...

Is this business a "secondhand dealer" business as described in CA Business & Professions Code Section 21626? (see http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate?WAISdocID=68514516431+0+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve)

I sure hope not as the requirements of this article would totally dissuade me from starting in on this.

I told you all I research things thoroughly before I get involved...  :P

Sorry, I don't have time to read the code; I'm too busy making money selling on clist, ebay and at a flea market.

The Board of Equalization has never said anything to me about how I get the money to pay the sales tax I generate for the state. Maybe if I had a BRICK and MORTAR store it would be a different matter.

Also, I think it MAY be possible to overthink something, but that is just my opinion.

Good point on the overthinking... I just don't want to do anything that no one else is doing, but, I don't want to be caught short either. 

I figured this would be the answer since nothing I have read on this topic has ever mentioned laws other than where guns and drugs are concerned.

IRS: We’ve got what it takes to take what you’ve got.

Just pay the sales tax upfront and bury your money in the back yard. That way when they take your house you can still get to the money.
