No Sales Tax

Sorry for the lack of blogs in the past few months. My wife and I have been very busy in getting our house in San Diego ready for sale/showing it/ and at last selling same.

Then we moved up to Coos Bay, Oregon and lived in a motel for a few days and then moved into a rental house. Living out of boxes.

Spent just a little time looking around and found a home to purchase. Today escrow closed and we will be moving in next week.

One important fact is that I will no longer be charging sales tax to California residents on purchases. Why? Simple, Oregon does not have a sales tax. I have lost some business to my competition because they could sell the same product at 9% cheaper than I could to California residents. Now we are even.

More details later.
