Is it legal to buy wholesale items, when you don't plan to resell them?

Buying wholesale not for business purposes, but for one's self?

    Depends on what you mean by "buying wholesale"...

    If you mean buying commercial quantities of things you use yourself, taking advantage of quantity discounts, and buying from vendors who normally serve commercial businesses, you're fine.

    If you mean buying things and claiming intent to resell them in order to avoid paying sales taxes, then it's called tax fraud. You may get away with it for awhile, but eventually the computers catch up to each other and spit out a notice that there are no reported sales to match the untaxed purchases.
