Its $20 plus tax at the park roughly $21.70.  SInce I'm a annual passholder I get 10% off my purchase.

Ouch! I'm still going to try and pick one up unless they have better exclusive stuff at SW Weekend...

I'm new to this.  Do we count sales tax?

[Darth Kenobi]

I'm new to this.  Do we count sales tax?

I think we add up the entire amount of the item cost inculding sales tax, shipping and other cost (except gas). 

I have a question do we count trades and stuff we sell?

[Jeff]

I'm new to this.  Do we count sales tax?

Yes, I usually do.

I have a question do we count trades and stuff we sell?

Yes, I usually do. 

For trades, I count the cost of the stuff I bought to trade and shipping.

For stuff I sell, I keep track and deduct the money I made from selling stuff at the end of the year.  That way, I can keep track of what I actually spent and then see how much I saved by selling off older stuff.

Sales tax, shipping, etc should be included.

If I have to go out and buy something for a trade, I count it (and mark it as such).  If I'm trading some of my of leftover stock from previous years, I don't count it (reason being it was paid for in another year).  The opposite is true for sales.  If someone asks me to pick up something for them, I won't count it because I'm getting reimbursed for it.  But if I sell some of my previous stock, I'll deduct it from the total.
