Technically, they are not "charging" sales tax, but are collecting it
for the state you live in.

Look at the convenience though. Amazon takes the tax for you
eliminating the need for you to file a Use Tax form with your state and
pay them directly.

haha.
I just bought @$800 in computer parts. After figuring prices it was
about $70 cheaper buying from Newegg.
I pay 9.25% sales tax where I live.
Shipping cost is better at Newegg, and it's faster.
Not knocking Amazon. I buy a lot from them.
