    I think I get it now....boy, I am naive. So, 2 ladies get together
    and get themselves a cheap business card and a resale license and
    head to a wholesale show to buy their own personal accessories. Is
    that it? 

    Avoidance of sales tax is most certainly a crime on the state level.
    Federally speaking, I don't have time to look it up right now, but I
    would suspect they would receive a letter at some point in the near
    future from the Fed inquiring as to, if they have registered a
    "business", where is their Schedule C. Is this fraud? I'm curious
    and, most certainly, I will find out the answer when I get back from
    vacation. 

    I still don't see any advantage to approaching the gallery to inform
    them. The gallery owners are,no doubt, a lot less naive than me and
    probably are already in the know. 

    What will they think of next?
