I never made such a blanket statement. I said that the question as posed is not "confusing garbage". Based on the price, I assumed it was a garage sale and not really taxable. But, ok, let's say it's a fire sale and is taxable. How would sales tax affect the calculation at all? If it does, how would you write the question in a way to assuage your concerns about taxation? Does your text cover all the relevant details? Like, is the entity making the purchase subject to sales tax? Or, does the purchase take place in West Virginia when this purchase might be covered under the Annual Back to School tax holiday?
