Today, I went to purchase a few resistors to attenuate my speaker's midrange/tweeters and discovered that Parts Express was charging me 8.8% WA sales tax (this wasn't charged on a similar purchase from them only 2 weeks ago).

Horrified, I went to Amazon to check up on Castle Forbes 1445 shaving cream pricing, and sure enough, I would have to pay $4 more in addition to the shipping charges. So much for what started out as a great $38 value. Guess I held off on that purchase too long.

Anyone else noticing the recent change in the US? Oh, and thanks to the genius trade war, Parts Express also increased the price of Mills resistors by $0.26, up from $4.25. This may seem insignificant, but today's 10-count bulk rate is what I was charged for the singles upon my last visit. Just great....
