I think originally, stamp tax was added to prevent people from having access to suppressors - after all that $200 did not change in many decades, and today $200 is more of annoyance rather than a real blocker (another one - ridiculous wait

Just an anecodote: I recently needed to buy something from a merchant, who was not able to acquire a traditional credit card merchant account, or a business checking account. I had three options to pay to that merchant: cash in the envelope

If you owe taxes and don't have dollars, but have property, IRS will gladly take that. And I doubt they will look at what type of property it is - a house, a stock, a crypto. Except in the last case, if you use your own keys, you have

I guess it depends on what is "too small to justify the risk", but I have a strong suspicion Amazon is not in the position to drop any significant number of 3rd party sellers, since these sellers drive something around half of Ama

> Amazon wants to not be a seller This is true. But at the same time Amazon tries very hard to hide any information about the customer from the seller. If the order is fulfilled by FBA, the 3rd party seller has the name of the customer a

I just compared prices of 2x4 and construction grade plywood between Lowes location in SF area and Austin area. They are pretty much the same. I agree, distance from the mill will matter, but not to a significant degree (not 3 times for sur

Problem is - lumber prices are about the same across the country. In SF Bay area and some middle of nowhere, where such lumber increase makes a significant difference.

Isn't there like 30% immediate tax that is required to be withheld by the agent and then later buyer is responsible to file a return to attempt to get that money back? I am sure some do, but for the rest - it looks like it is a price p

Thanks for sharing your story. I use credit card as a charge card paying it off each month. So never had experience such as yours. The reason for use a credit card is to have someone between my checking account and the merchant.

I recently built a house and had to work with power company to bury the cable instead of running it on poles (for the view mostly, not reliability). From what I hear - they prefer to run low voltage (keep in mind, we run 110V vs 220V in Eur

Desktop logging is mostly used for hourly projects. I think it is possible (or used to be) to use logging for fixed projects as well, but there is little value here. For what you describe, hourly billing will not work anyway. Some kind of f
