Sales tax is less of issue for buyers than it is for sellers. See Joe Barker's post. While sales tax is collected in the three dealer halls it is not in the 4 member halls. Not having to collect sales tax is one of the benefits of joining the club. I don't see how increasing the red tape of doing business will increase membership.
Who do you expect the Eastern Division to be reaching out to? Interest in model trains has been declining since the '50s with the introduction of slot cars. Are the video game buyers going to trade in their sets for trains?
