Nothing new. This move to try to collect taxes on internet sales has been going on for years since shortly after the advent of e-sales. Just the latest attempt by one state to get their percieved share.
I dealt with the threat of this 8 yrs ago and mail order businesses have been doing the same for who knows how many years before that.
Nothing has happened yet. It might...and it might not. But until the economy bounces back, individual states will continue to look for ways to get more money in their coffers.

I thought the same thing, then I thought, I need a better job to allow for more disposable income, then I thought, the government will never let me off active duty, then I came full circle and I'm back to wondering what the bike looks like.

I think it's inevitable that this will start happening, given the legislative hunger for new tax revenue. I just hope there will be ways to dodge it.

I've read that the major loop hole that esales have is that the consumer can state that what he paid the etailer was tax included, the etailer in turn states the consumer is responsible for the tax in his state(which actually is how the system is suppose to work) the question might be when is the gov. going to go after the seller for taxes. That is when all sellers will start charging sales tax to everyone.

Yep, been spending lots this last 6-8 months on two different scoots and my truck.....I tend to buy most all my stuff, not just bike n truck parts, off the net.
My headlight for the sporty cost almost 1K, my ape hanger swap for the RKC was almost 1K, front wheel for sporty was 1,250, pipes for both were 1K, but also just swapped pipes again on RKC so another 300, 2 PCIII's was 600 bucks, full chillhowee fringe for RKC was 300, ....there's more......Yep, it adds up.
