Don't you just hate it when the pistol you want beretta 92x performance is in stock at 3 different dealers and even 1 on EE

BUT your firearms savings account is short on all the funds. Next paycheck comes in and You got all the money BUT NOW they all sold out.

They where in stock for a few days so I had a chance...

Wish I was in the states. I could order from tons of other sellers. CANADA..... wait wait and more wait.

Pre-orders at 3 shops but those places have been waiting months already with no ETA or just never arrive and get a refund. Gun shops who don't have Pre-orders already Got them in. Even Bass pro. Lol.

Just going to have to wait on EE or just keep searching websites everyday to see if any shops got them in.


***Just hate it** when you don't have the cash. The gun you want is in stock.

***Just hate it**when you can't wait any longer and buy another expensive gun and guess what....the gun you wanted originally comes back in stock.


That's how gun Purchases are in Canada. No fault of any gun shops. All on the buyer.

I am more motivated than ever to buy and shoot some of the handguns I want to try before they are banned. You never know when a crazy goes crazy and liberals decide they going to take some of that crazy and come down with a pistol ban.


Sorry for the pistol rant. I am bored and sad looking at my pistols I own but cant shoot becuz of covid closures. ( my ARs' s unfortunately will never see another range according to Turdo)

Life is full of tragedies.

In the future, offer to pay a deposit or installments. Has worked for me in the past and I offer it to buyers on the EE too.
 
I generally have enough money to buy whatever I want but even so I like to use Tactical Capital or layaways/payment plans etc whenever possible. Just easier to pay over time if something you’re not in a rush for, or if you don’t have the cash, guarantees it for you. I’ve learned my lesson on buying stuff while it’s available.
 
Just use a credit card , and let them worry about the payment .
If you maxed out the only thing they can do is increase your credit limit .

Those two statements are at odds with one another. I too generally have enough money to buy whatever I want so I pay for the item and take it home. Why would someone willingly pay fees/interest if they have the money? I would only do that if my money, invested elsewhere, was making more than the fees/interest charged against my current debt load.

If you have to wait until payday to buy a gun, you can't afford the gun.

If only more people thought that way.
 
Generally I will not buy a gun on credit. Unless it's something specific and exactly what I was looking for for a long time (over a year) and I don't see it come up more than once a month. My minty mint Jericho purchase, all steel not-a-mark-on-it, not available in stores usually... ya, Visa did the layaway on that one :). The Long Branch I want? I'll save my coffee money for a bit and find one.

Marstar and Wolverine Supplies have never charged me a fee or interest for layaway. Tactical Capital has 0% financing and a small fee (compared to the purchase price of the item), I think it was $15 or $25. I just don’t want to take a large hit to my bank account at once if I have the option to avoid it, which gives me more financial flexibility. If I’m making payments on a purchase I’m more likely to limit myself and not overspend. Sometimes I want something that is the last one in stock or know it won’t be restocked for a while but don’t want to spend that much money on it at the time, and a layaway essentially reserves it for me. Plenty of reasons to not drop a ton of money at once using a service that is either very cheap or free.

Different strokes for different folks!

Our definitions of "enough money to buy whatever I want" probably differ.

Yup. Having enough money vs willingness to spend it are two different things. Could I buy a $5000 IPSC Open gun? Sure, I could easily buy a few. Am I going to dip into my savings account I have set aside for my mortgage? Definitely not.
 
Some great and terrible advice here. My grandfather used to say “the best way to double your money is to fold it up and put it back in your pocket”. Paying interest on non-essential items seems silly to me. We are all free to do as we please however and I hope your pistol comes available again when you are ready to buy one.

Agreed, my idea of having enough money to buy anything I want starts with not having a mortgage.

I know of wife's like that. Gunshow, young husband fondling one of my HK P7's, she is giving me the evil eye, like if he buys that ,I'm dead. He didn't, still here.
