Sir_Macalot Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Going to my first gun show tomorrow here in Amarillo, TX. Do I need to have cash? Or can I purchase just about anything on my credit card?
techmike Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Well, most of the dealers will be able to accept CCs, but some might charge you the 3% mark-up. Private sellers won't. At least that has been my experience in Cali, Oklahoma, Ohio and Michigan. Have fun!
Microgunner Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 I've used CCs almost exclusively for gun show purchases.The exceptions would be the little odds & ends dealers.
Madhouse Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Yes, definitely accepted. But they typically have a small upcharge, 3%.
Tal Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Yes they are. From what I've seen lately even the small guys are using the smart phone app.
asmurff Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 I only once remember being told cash only at a gun show. Yes many to mark up for it because they are such small operators the banks won't give them the good rate.I do try to take cash, but mainly to protect my credit cards.
