    Never said it was a bad system in general. But as a normal citizen not engaging in business I think paying taxes possibly 4 times (federal income tax, state income tax, sales tax when first bought new, sales tax when sold as used) on the same item is wrong.

        You’re right but, If you bought the bike years ago there’s a strong chance you no longer have the receipt/invoice.

          You won’t need that unless you get audited, which is highly unlikely unless you’re doing questionable things consistently, and even then they probably wouldn’t care enough to look into a single bike sale too deeply.

          I’ve been audited. It wasn’t that difficult and I didn’t need every last individual scrap of information
