OK, I will give an example of how I handled this situation when an out of town dealer advertised a Parker for sale in the Gun List. I knew that his phone would be ringing off the hook within hours of the time I called him. Knowing that a preferred customer would probably take the gun away from me, I had the dealer charge my credit card for the full price of the gun and read the transaction number to me. In retrospect, I should have had him fax the credit card receipt and store receipt to me. However, everything went great and I purchased a great fluid steel ten gauge at a fair price. Without the full documented payment, I doubt that I would have ended up with the gun. The dealer admitted that he had never had so many calls on a gun the day the ad broke.
