Amazon.com and Buy.com lost me as a customer as well. Christmas is all about helping the retailers out. Just another gimcrack holiday in the calendar. </p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551568 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551568 Comments Sat, 27 Dec 2008 11:34:17 -0500 <p>I was wondering since when did Amazon and Buy.com started charging tax in NY. WTF Paterson?</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551553 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551553 Comments Sat, 27 Dec 2008 10:32:25 -0500 <p>Amazon could have had an even bigger holiday season, if not for Paterson's damn Amazon tax. Sorry, Paterson, you're not getting another penny of online sales tax out of me if I can help it. I bought from Overstock.com and Newegg but refuse to buy from Amazon and Buy.com unless what I want isn't available anywhere else or something is on sale for one hell of a discount.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551549 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/27/retailers_turn_desperate_with_deep.php#comment-1551549 Comments Sat, 27 Dec 2008 10:23:38 -0500 <p>So do the sales end on at the close of business on December 31st? Or will they continue on into the new year? That is the question.</p>
