My state seems to have fixed that. I now pay CA sales tax even on out-of-state online purchases. On one hand it was nice getting away with not paying sales tax on stuff; on the other hand it does seem more fair this way. Now I have to drive to Oregon if I want to avoid sales tax, and with gas prices what they are that is not going to save me any money!!
That may not be what they are doing. If I'm shopping and see something I like but can't afford at the time, I take a picture to remind myself when I scroll through pics later. I do this at all stores, including thrift stores. I might be sending a pic to my husband of kids to see if it is something they want.
