    Ever been to a gun show? help me! answer a question

    Aight so I'm goin to the paso gunshow tommorow and need a quick answer. I have only been to one gunshow, in SC along time ago and it was big. Alot of the vendors their took credit card, but i'm wondering at a small one like this if it is all cash only? Anyone with small or semi small gunshow experience plz chime in.

    Bring cash. It talks the loudest. If it's going to be crazy, I imagine the guy waving cash will get his order in before the guy holding out his credit card.

      Cash is KING at the shows. Also there isn't a nice credit card paper trail to show that you bought something there.

          many vendors now have portable credit card machines that they can operate via a cell phone, but as mentioned above, Cash is King. YOu can always find a vendor willing to take cash, but not all have CC capability.

          And most venues will have ATM machines so that you can get more Cash, if need be.

          plus, some/many/most vendors base their prcing to reflect a cash discount, and using a CC can cost you an additional 3% or so.

          Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

            Cash is king.

            It is common to get hit with a 3% charge for using a credit/atm card.

                    Remember with Cash Money there's a possibility vendor wont charge tax.You pay with card expect to pay tax.
