Can you walk into any NY retailer and do this? Or is it up to the seller whether they support it?

Sellers have the right to refuse your exemption certificate, even if it is correct and properly completed. A seller that refuses your certificate must charge you sales tax. You may apply for a refund of the sales tax using Form AU-11, Application for Credit or Refund of Sales or Use Tax. For more information, see Tax Bulletins How to Apply for a Refund of Sales and Use Tax (TB-ST-350) and Sales Tax Credits (TB-ST-810).

Here is Apple's policy:

Apple Store purchases will include sales tax based on the ship-to location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time of shipping unless proof of state tax-exemption is provided. To assure that your order is tax exempt, please call Apple Store Sales Support at 1-800-793-9378. Be prepared to provide proof of state tax-exempt status for the state where the product is shipping. The organization or individual name on the order must exactly match the state tax-exempt certificate.

If this worked for B&H it would be awesome.

You can already do this nationwide with B&H if you use their Payboo card.

B&H have a page for filmmaker exemptions - same principle should apply.
