I've bought from both, and they neither of them charges tax. i don't think any phone store that sells unlocked phones charges tax if you pay cash.

and it turned out like that cuz they think it's a phone number.

but anyways, what are you getting? :P

LOL just bought it off kang19 yesterday. The phone's pretty sick.
get a used one.. the cheapest price i see is 690 right now, which isn't really worth it, Cuz it's likely to come out to rogers in the summer.. probably sometime in august/september.
but if you're gona keep it for a long time I guess it doesn't really matter

just a heads up on 604 when i brought an e71 from them a while ago

when they used to advertise on craigslist, that price would be plus tax.
you would have to ask about their cash price, as it was always higher than the advertised price, but lower than when u include tax.

Everything has tax, it just already included in the price.
Why bother wasting an extra 100?
When you can purchase it off ebay for less?
my two cents. nom on it.

A lot of the time the prices in our local stores are comparable to the ones on ebay..
plus you won't have to deal with shipping/paypal/credit cards and you can get it instantly.
