Dealers are expected to be well-aware of the applicable tax laws of their own state, and are expected to comply.<\/span><\/p>\n Note that, since Gorgeous Guitars is located in New York state, we are required to collect sales tax on sales occurring in New York, when the financial transaction occurs directly on our site — same as if we were a retail dealer (sorry).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Dealer-Direct Program” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”-13px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-13px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-7px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|30px||30px|false|true” link_option_url=”#dealers” border_radii=”off|6px|6px|6px|6px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_level=”h2″ toggle_font=”|600|||||||” toggle_font_size=”18px” closed_toggle_font=”|600|||||||” closed_toggle_text_align=”left” closed_toggle_font_size=”24px” open=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n \ue052<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span>Attract new customers and accelerate revenue by adding our uniquely-focused<\/strong> online marketplace to your marketing toolkit. <\/span><\/p>\n Our exclusive Dealer-Direct Program<\/strong> lets you deal directly<\/strong> with buyers, while you manage all transactions in-house.<\/span><\/p>\n Enjoy expanded reach, UNLIMITED commission-free sales<\/strong>, and personal support while we do the marketing.
