If about 20%, the French range would be more about $60-110, as several of the lower priced French retailers (Caves Elzevir, GVF, Chateau.net) say tax isn't included.
In US, retailers don't charge sales tax for out of state sales, so I figure in shipping for those, shipping and 8% for NY retailers that I need to ship, or 8% for NY places I can pick up. Of course I am a fiend for finding those places with free shipping deals.
