I emailed a bricklink seller in Europe asking for a shipping quote to the USA on an expensive set. He replied stating he could offer an additional discount if I "order by email". Would there be a big upside for me to do this and buy outside of bricklink? I guess I avoid paying my state's sales tax that way, which is considerable. What does the seller gain aside from avoiding the small bricklink fee? He said the payment would be made through paypal so I am still getting jewed on the currency conversion fee.
