Re: How do you pay for things at a gun show?

Cash is the only way. Say a guy has a gun he's carrying around and is wanting $250 for it and you walk up and tell him you have $200 cash, 9 times out of 10 they take it.

That's hard truth info right there! Cash always sings a prettier song to me.

cash is best, especially if you don't want the wife to know (just saying)

True with many negotiable items from guns to appliances i've found.
Such as the stainless refrigerator I bought today Smile

I do take credit cards without a fee being added. I will take a check if its over $500.00 (under $500.00 is too damn hard to get collection on through district attourney) and with proper Identification.

As others have said though, I always prefer cash. I will sometimes give a better deal on a cash purchase if I have enough margin built into the price of the firearm.

Cash in hand usually =s firearm/goods in hand...Don't buy much from shows anymore but try to support local dealers when I can. By the way you folks do know of Springfields' latest promotion...3 mags and extra holder for purchase of XD or XD(M)? http://www.springfieldpromo.com/
