I know what the fair market value is. I ask if the gun is consignment or owned by the seller. Based on that knowledge I make reasonable offer which will not insult the seller. If that is rejected I will follow with what in CASH what will you accept? One must keep in mind is that I do not pay for mistakes of others.
Can you explain this concept to me, because it remains a mystery to me.
Assuming that I am an honest seller and truthfully report my sales to the proper authorities, the difference between cash and credit card is, at most, about 3 percent -- which is on the high side for credit card processing fees. Given that, why should I get weak in the knees when somebody offers cash?
I guess the implication of a "what would you take for cash" question is that I'm going to cook the books and only pay taxes on a smaller sale. Does the question suggest that buyer assumes the seller is a crook? Is that what is being suggested?
Or, are we talking some other alternative to cash? Live chickens or baskets of fresh produce, perhaps.
