Welcome to our forum.
My personal opinion is that if you are in posistion to purchase a $10,000 luxury item I find it petty to try and circumvent a few hundred bucks in taxes to your own state, but that's simply my .02
I agree with Bullfrog dude. I get it, it's a big investment. Ultimately though, I would say if that couple hundred, even a thousand dollars hurts you so much, then don't buy the hot tub.

I had a momentary pang of being that petty when I was offered the Amore Bay for $13.5K because he was willing to jump through the hoops and save me the tax. The only way I could justify it was if I didn't pay the tax, and in the end that means that I just won't buy it, as sweet of a deal as it is, because it is a luxury purchase and the dollars were starting to get uncomfortable.So if you know anyone close to PDX who want a ripping deal on an Amore Bay, there it is.Thanks for the interesting discussion.
ummm, this is NOT an IRS issue at all (IRS is federal, and so far, the feds don't charge sales tax). This is solely state, and the federal government (IRS) couldn't care less about it (unless you tried to deduct sales tax you DIDN'T actually pay, on your federal return).
