is it worth getting a tax id in order to get the wholesale pricing? places like weaver are there prices lower then say Wickett and Craig?

trying searching but came up with nothing also call weaver they would tell me prices with out a tax id.

So is it worth it?

Thanks!!

It depends on how much you buy a year.

and how much paper work you like to do each year.

Places like Tandy and Springfield leather offer memberships for a price that get you better pricing. consider that.

If you plan on running a legitimate business, by all means, get the tax id #. Weaver is an excellent source of most things you need in the business. Tandy or the Leather Factory usually has imported hardware, little stainless steel, and in my opinion, generally poorer quality. They do have some really good sales once in a while. Two other great sources fro hardware and leather are Walsall Hardware out of Az. and Siegal of Ca. Siegal had good prices, great service, andalso have hardware such as c.s. Osborne. If you have a tax id, Weaver gives a discount on 5 plus hides, but depending on what type of leather you want, check out W&C overstock sale. Great prices and no minimum. Hope this helps

A sales tax id number is for selling not buying. If you want to sell your items and collect sales tax you have to get it.

That is not correct Kustom. To buy wholesale, you have to give a tax id in most cases. You can either give them your SSN (BAD idea of course), or go get a tax id #, otherwise known as an EIN.

That is up to you, if you want collect taxes for the state. No Weavers leather is not cheaper than W&C, Weaver buys a lot of their leather from W&C. Weaver is not nice to deal with anymore since Vernon Weaver sold the business 3 or 4 years ago. I used to buy stuff from them before they sold out I did not have a tax id either. Since the new buyer took over I can not buy anything from them. They will not tell me the cost of any of their stuff without an id. They don't realize that I do not need them to conduct my business.

An EIN can get you wholesale at a lot of different places, and since your gonna lose money hand over fist when you start, why not get a free EIN? You won't be paying taxes for a while, and SLC where I get most of my stuff tells you right with the item how much you saved. And you do save because if I do a quick search there without logging in, I see the retail prices. Cheryl

What are the places that will give you wholesale pricing without a state resale tax idea number, and just a EIN? Do they give you wholesale pricing and not charge you sales tax if you're in the same state?
