What kind of taxes and how much varies depending upon the circumstances and profile of the seller. You ever auction off a big book, which is how the vast majority of big books sell, and the auction house will send you a tax document. Most sellers are honest and don't rely on a business plan of committing tax fraud. Those that do, probably aren't the ones who you want to trust in a high stakes transaction. After all, if they don't disclose to the IRS, what are they not disclosing to you? Restoration etc.? Nevada, where the Pawn Stars is located has a sales tax of 4.6% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) It seems like standing outside the Pawn Stars shop with a "I pay more for comics than Rick!" sign could be a winning strategery.
