    Hi Lisa; Just another 2 cents worth.  It seems from out here like you
    are going to more effort to NOT deal with sales taxes than you would
    to just fill out the dang forms and deal with it.  I hate it as much
    as the next guy.  Because I make almost no direct retail sales
    locally, my tax burden runs around $25 per quarter, and most of that
    is use tax on tools and supplies I purchase by mail, not actual
    sales. Another thought is that you are really limiting yourself over
    a rather minor annoyance.  Perhaps you can stay legal if you are
    careful enough of who you sell to.  I don't know CA laws.  Logic,
    though, tells me that you are either going to have to be very careful
    of who you sell to,what you sell, how and where and when.......... 
    One slipup puts you into the tax scofflaw category, and eventually it
    is likely to catch up with you.  Then you still pay the tax, plus
    interests and penalties that will greatly exceed the tax, and enjoy
    the much closer scrutiny of the taxman.  It stinks, but it is
    reality.  For your own sake, join the rest of us in the real world
    on this subject. Jim
