Leaving aside that CA sales tax pays my salary,...

are you sure you want to buy something like this from out of state to save less than 10% on sales tax. To be sure, you can also get a lower price than most local stores, but careful shopping may get you you a good local price. I live in Santa Cruz, which isn't noted for a large selection of competing discount stores, and thought about this for a long time when I bought my plasma set. I knew of several cases of people having problems with their plasma sets, and I decided I would rather pay a bit more for peace of mind. I found I could get a pretty low price at the local Circuit City by following closely the on-line pricing, but in the end did not want to buy it there for several reasons. I finally decided to go with Costco 0n-line for the following reasons: they had the set I wanted, the price was quite low even with the sales tax, it came with a two year parts and labor in-home warranty, for 90 days they would take it back and refund all my money no questions asked (Costco is great that way), and they delivered it to my house. So, maybe I could have saved a few hundred out of state, but I really wanted the peace of mind. As it turned out, it has worked beautifully so far (about one year).
