If the sale is being held in a Motel/Hotel or leased space
in a local store, for the one day sale.
There is a very high degree of likelihood that the people
running the sale don't have a city or county business
license or a permit to collect sales tax in your
state.
Call your local county or city business license office
then call your county or state sales tax office and ask to
speak to an investigator.
If the seller is an out of state corporation they are
also required to register with your states Secretary of
State as an out of state corporation, doing business in your
state and pay the appropriate fee's. This is in addition to
the city or county business license and sales tax permit.
The above steps can help shut them down. One last thing
this will only work if you contact the agency's above before
the sale is held. After the sale the scammers have most
likely moved on to the next state.
Send Tim an email and let him know your results.
