<p>[QUOTE="Silverfingers, post: 1698103, member: 21653"]You will probably get a better deal paying cash, as it costs 3%-6% for the dealer to use the credit card...which can add up fast. I have also never seen a credit/debit card used in a coin transaction. But I did join a bank the other day that is open until 12 on Saturdays...so I have that going for me. I would say, know the environment if carrying money is a concern to you. I always take as much cash as I can. I like to make a small purchase initially and let the dealer see a wad of $100 bills before I start negotiating on larger items, so they know I am a serious buyer. It might be unethical or tacky, but it was partially how I was schooled. I also look like a mindless schlub and can play dumb very well <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I use lots of "what is this" and "are these any good", while pointing to a MS 79CC $1. You just have to figure out what is right for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
