that's what you get for being a secondary market

What is VAT.

The founders edition is $699 in the US. Non-founders is like a $100 cheaper.

Tax depends on the state you are in. Mine in Pennsylvania is 7%, but it isn't charged on all websites. Only those that have a place in my state.

Only a few Liberal shithole states like Commiefornia have to pay sales tax on online purchases. Obviously we have no import tax or anything like that, so it's just shipping. Newegg of course had free shipping if you bought it from them like I did.

So you can buy it for 699 if you order online, basically tax-free?

It depends on the state you live in.

No, Americans are not required to have the sales tax included because it varies by state, where I live its about 8.75% iirc

>but that 699 is only the net price without tax?
Depends on which state you live in. That's why prices are listed without tax, because everything is a clusterfuck.

Some states have to pay sales tax on online purchases.
Some states only have to pay sales tax on in-store purchases.
Some states don't have sales tax at all.

So for states that don't charge sales tax for online purchases or have a sales tax, you can buy the card for $699. Even with sales tax it's nowhere near what you have to pay. Consider that California has the largest sales tax in the US at 7.5% which brings the total cost to $751.43. And most states have a fairly significantly lower sales tax than that[1]
