PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
I'm really getting tired of California taxes. I went to PickNPull today bought a couple of nic nacks. Sales tax here in Claifornia is tough enough, but then you add an Environmental Fee??????????? The Environmental Fee is even higher than the sales tax.
![]() Add that up to nearly 20% in taxes on your PickNPull purchase!! Only day I'll go again is half price day. Last edited by 1LowToy; 12-23-2009 at 09:56 PM. |

Re: PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
Pick and pull is a waste of time and money. Craigslist and local papers are the way to go. I can buy a whole truck for less than a handful of parts cost me at pick and pull.

Re: PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
Taxes, at a junkyard? The few I go to will ask "ya need a receipt" and I hand them cash.
Isn't an environmental fee, on a recycled part some kind of oxymoron? Save the planet by recycling, but it's gonna cost ya ![]()

wire harnesses fit nicely down the pants legs, you can spread a $120[new] set of bearings out to your 4 pockets, shifters only work well if you have a tall boot to keep it vertical. pick n pull advertises that they will pay up to $600 for a cars, it has to be imaculate and worth $2k on the street, i have had to PAY THEM to take my last 2 trucks, f that they go to the scrapper now. they make money hand over fist, why do you think they have 3x in the last 5 years. |

Re: PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
Ive never stolen a thing from anyone, I cant stand a thief. But thats my opinion, everyones is different. I always paid for my parts that I got out of a junk yard, even some that were a little high. But I also live in Alabama so the prices aint really that high around here either.

Re: PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
The junkyards might charge you to enter the yard... but taxes & "environmental fees" are mandated by (and turned over to) the state.

Re: PicknPull Tax WTF!!!!! CA
And that's your justification for stealing? If you don't mean it, don't say it. Stealing is stealing.
