NewEgg Tells New York - "Make Me"

I love NewEgg. It's my number one site to shop for computer parts, software, etc. If you remember not too long ago, New York state had passed a highly questionable law designed to force e-commerce retailers to collect sales tax in the state. As you hopefully know, retailers are only supposed to collect sales tax in states where they have a physical presence. Different retailers reacted differently. Amazon and Overstock sued - Overstock even banned NY affiliates while the law is in effect. But, NewEgg is doing something different. It sounds as if NewEgg is daring NY to sue them:

As a result of recent changes in New York State tax law requiring certain out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales taxes to the State of New York, we began collecting applicable sales tax for all orders shipped to New York addresses starting June 1, 2008. After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008. This decision was driven by your direct and candid feedback and our continued commitment to you as our valued customers.

Yeah! You go NewEgg. You da man
