He'd have to ship them, though, etc etc and thats cost and time. Plus CC fees etc.
If I pre pay him cash for guns, he usually lets me have them for a good deal plus tax over his cost. He's a great dealer, and He knows other wise he will just get a transfer anyway - so we scratch each others back.
Sometimes it works, sometimes his cost is more than what online dealers sell for. If he can make money, and I save money, we do it. Otherwise he still gets a 20.00 transfer. I got my Evo from him. But he couldnt touch the deal I got on my P-07 urban grey.
Lets say for example his cost is 500 bucks on this gun. Shipping is 12.00. We are at 512. tax is 28. Thats 540.00 Throw in 25 bucks profit for him on a pre paid cash sale ad we are at 565. Thats about the same price as Mr gun dealer, and it doesnt matter either way.
But say its 450. Then we will split the difference. I'll be out the door around 520, and He will make 40 instead of 20. I save 40, he makes 40. The transaction costs him no CC BS, and its pre paid so no risk or floating capital. We both win.
