Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax

There is a retailer that advertises in the Absolute Sound that you can buy gear from him without paying sales tax. He is located in Delaware where they don't have sales tax. Being from California that would save me 9.5 percent off the top and that is without even negotiating. I don't know if he charges for shipping or not but it seems like it could be beneficial.

I purchase from out of state not to avoid taxes but because many brands have no dealers near me.
Technically, I must report my purchases and pay tax to my home state but who does that? I've never met anyone who has paid such a tax.

grannyring,
You're from MN right? These laws have existed for a long time. As I said, never heard of anyone paying attention to them.
However, if you purchase a car out of state and want it licensed in MN, you will pay sales tax. Anything that needs a license will be the same.
