Sometimes the discounts are complete, sometimes they're half, but in all cases, the tax the seller pays happens regardless of where the buyer buys the item.
Thats nice to know! I always thought it was in the goblet. I also only see non-taxed (buyer side) when in the goblet buying from the immortal flames.
