I know that is one of the ways I get around paying local sales tax. I pick up items like this when I travel to states with no sales tax in order to avoid the additional 7-10% Washington Sales tax. Yes I am that petty, don't even get me started about any major purchases...

I don't know what the "Washington Sales tax" is or what you mean by "local sales tax" but I'm pretty sure you must pay you country's VAT (unless it's 0%) when making an online purchase, regardless of where the merchant is from.
