if you think about it it’s not bad considering the guy who camped out at New York Comic Con paid $50 for it.

My one beef about Funko is just how much they overvalue their product. I always have to stop and remind myself we’re buying pieces of shaped plastic lol.

Having said that, I did just buy the Chef Figment POP, so I can’t talk :cool:

I’ve had that same thought but then thought that comic books are made of paper. Of course, they weren’t overvalued at the time. I wonder if POPs will increase in value.

Lol I thought about that one but I said I’m going to stick to Disneyland POPs. A man has to draw the line somewhere. Haha

Stores pay tax when they purchase their merchandise. The tax is on the transactions, not the item.

False, is a merchant is buying something for resale, they provide the wholesaler with their Tax ID info and a statement it is not for their own use, but resale.

Example, a store buys shelfing - Sales Tax is paid on that (in most cases, as sales tax laws vary per local laws)

The merchandise on the shelves are not taxed YET, when the customer buys it, that is when the state/local government gets its revenue.

A Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged at each level of the transaction.

Places like COSTCO and Smart and Final collect Resale information, and will not collect sales tax if the merchant states it is for resale.

Can I purchase for resale or tax exempt at a Costco warehouse?

How many times can you tax the same item though? So if I turned around and sold it tmrw Uncle Sam (or Uncle California) gets another $17?

also isn’t “transaction” just a silly loophole in this case?

It’s a good thing I’m not an accountant or tax attorney.

Personally, I like characters who don't murder their fathers. :D I think whatever potential Jar Jar Abrams brought to Force Awakens (and I originally loved the new trio of heroes) was ignored and/or slaughtered by Last Jedi. All Abrams can hope to do now is make something that at least doesn't self-destruct in the projection room. This trilogy is complete, unadulterated gibberish. It's mind-blowing how Disney managed to not just drop the ball with this franchise, but drop the ball to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

I don't like that Han was murdered either, he was my favorite character in the OT, but I was using that whole example of why I think Kylo is a deeper character than some people seem to think he is.
