should report to the state comptroller office -- max sales tax (TX) is limited to 8.25% http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/sales/index.html -----Original Message----- From: Pic Dude [mailto:picdude@AVN-TECH.COM] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 8:44 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT]: BGMicro orders, Was: GPS receivers: anyone have the specs? Actually was referring to an issue I had with Newark's ripoff charges. 1 sensor @$22.58 (which others sold for ~$17 but didn't have in stock), plus one Max232 (to avoid the $5 charge for orders below $25) came to just over $25. Add shipping, handling, 11% sales tax (note that sales tax is not 11% here in Austin, where their TX office is, where their sales office is, nor where they shipped it from), and insurance on the shipping (which UPS already insures to $100). Total = $36.11. Ouch! -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of A.J.

Sorry to disapoint you again Pic Dude but Newark charges a measly $2.14 for a 7448. I mean at that price I'd better stock up! Don't let the word out though that newark practically giving these chips away though. ;) Aaron -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
