If you purchase a big ticket item from a big box store, you should know that most likely that store was built with local government support in the form of "tax income financing."
In plain language, that means that the big box store charges you sales tax, but they don't have to hand it over to the government...not a bad deal...if you are a big box store, that is.
I never tried it, but you could try to negotiate down based upon that.
