I have fallen into quite a few good gun deals over the years, and the secret is what I learned in sales.
ABC. Always Be Closing. Nothing closes for a buyer like cash.
I have seen many really good deals unwind because the buyer had to go get the cash, and then a better deal for the seller comes along.
That said, I have overpaid a time or two.

I was of the opinion that it was all cash , but over the last three years I’ve written and taken a fair number of checks with no hiccups either way . Plastic however is more of a rarity . I think some of the larger dealers will accept plastic but they need be somewhere they have cell/net service .

Cash. Checks when you have attended about ten years of double gun shows unless the seller knows you. The cash needs to be physically offered at least a second before the gun changes hands. This is all so easy.
