Thats why they give a cash discount. Yes it's the same but it's the way around it. Not too many years ago the gas stations used to do the same thing. As long as it's clearly indicated you have the choice.

I think that is a great price.

If it really bothers you notify your credit card company. In the past credit card companies would not allow them to have two different prices. It is in the best interest of the credit card company to get the transaction so they get paid. At the same time it is in the best interest of the retailer to make a sale even if it costs a couple of bucks. You do not see this at major retailers becasue this cost is factored into the price.

As long as BUD's is selling on the internet and there's no INTERNET TAX you'd be hard press to ever beat BUD's price. PLUS the HUGE SELECTION he offers. GURNEY Knows ME by first name. There's No FreeBe with PAYPAL either!!!

So when I placed my order and the guy said 49x.xx, I was like wait what and he said because I used a credit card I don't get the "cash discount". I bought from them this time, but I don't think I'll be a returning customer if they want to put all this crap in fine print.

Yeah I have that complaint about them too. The easiest thing to do is open a Buds Gun Shop Credit account and charge it. You get the CASH price plus have 25 days to pay for it % free. That's what I did the last time I bought from them and it worked great. Just pay it off when you get the bill so you don't have to pay that 24% interest. Just a thought. They do have good prices for the most part. The shipping time seemed a little slow to me, but that is expected when buying pistols online.

It is not listed anywhere on the page with the prices...only after you click on Payment towards the bottom of the page does it mention anything about the cash discount. That is my problem...put the words "cash discount price" under the price by the gun not where you have to hunt on the site to find it. I'm not saying the guys weren't nice to deal with but if you post 477 delivered on your page then thats what I expect to pay.

I have never paid with a credit card either. Don't want it coming back at you.
