EEEKKK - More rage and frustration

Here is some interesting information from the State of New York:
Garage sales and other similar sales

Most garage sales are not subject to the sales tax registration requirements and the sellers are usually not required to collect sales tax. However, Tax Law section 1115(a)(18) specifically provides that if certain conditions are not met, you may need to collect sales tax, or possibly register for sales tax purposes. See TSB-M-80(9)S, 1980 Legislation-Changes in Dollar Limitation of "Garage Sale" Receipts.

The conditions that must be met under Tax Law section 1115(a)(18) to avoid registration and sales tax collection are:

  • The sale is at your home.
  • Neither you (the seller) nor any member of your household is in a trade or business selling similar items. For example, if you own a store where you sell antiques and are registered to collect sales tax, your spouse cannot sell antiques from your home without also registering to collect sales tax.
  • You make sales for three days or less in a calendar year. Sales on the fourth and subsequent days are subject to tax.
  • You do not expect your sales to exceed $600 in a calendar year. If actual sales unintentionally exceed $600, the first $600 in any calendar year is exempt. (See Occasional sales from your home (casual sales), explained above, You must collect sales tax, and may have to register as a vendor, if the sales you are making are:
  • more frequent than allowed by these exemptions,

Oh dear, Deb seems to be a tax evader 😂😂😂
 
After moving you might want to give serious consideration to ending your yard sale habit, Deb, lest your new neighbors get an unfavorable impression of you.

Frequent garage/yard sales are generally perceived as neighborhood nuisances. If I had a neighbor who held yard sales once a month or more, I'd be steaming.

She's working for herself, off the books. So what? Big deal. She's not selling dope and she's not hurting you, and it's not that much. If you want to find a tax cheat, IT IS NOT HER!

Ya know, debodun, I'm actually surprised at the lack of interest.
Several years ago, when I replaced a 35-year-old rusted washer & dryer, I phoned the Dept. of Water & Power because they're connected to our trash pickup service & they have a "Special Trash Pickup" that I can schedule. They'll tell me to leave whatever it is out on a certain day.
I scheduled the pickup, but within 30 minutes after leaving the washer & dryer out, they were gone. Maybe someone wanted to sell them for scrap.
Another time, my electrician replaced a heavy wrought-iron lamp. Same thing; I scheduled a pickup but within 10 minutes, someone picked it up.
 
My neighbors across the street had a yard sale this past weekend - they packed it up at 1 pm on Sunday - maybe they didn't do very well. They left a box of free items by the curb. I just had to look. These were still in the box this morning - an indication of how tough the garage sale crowd is here. Quite a few votive candle holders, two theme flags (hummingbird and Nativity) I will actually keep the cat motif ceramic canister set and cookie jar. Plus a free plastic bin that will come in handy for moving.
