Yes. It depends on the price of the boat. If the boat only cost a few
hundred dollars, it might be cheaper to use the ATM.
Thanks for thinking up such an interesting topic. I was beginning to
think you had nothing of value contribute.

Nah, He's already proven to have boating subjects.

But I can't see why you can't use a credit card for any purchase. You
get cash redeemable points on most credit cards


Tim, it's harry...

It depends on what you are looking for: Carry gun; home defense or
target practice/competition.

You really need to think that through because no one gun is ideal for
more than one category.

The P226 is. Small enough to carry, sizeable enough for home defense, and with the .22 conversion
kit, cheap enough for target practice. The big question would be which conversion kit to buy.

"...SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit™ is the perfect accessory for your SIG SAUER Classic .22 rimfire pistols.
Now shooters can add SIG SAUER centerfire performance with just the change out of the slide
assembly, barrel, recoil system, and magazine to any of the standard production pistol calibers;
9mm, .40 S&W, and .357SIG. Exchanging components does not alter the reliability or accuracy of
either assembly."

You have a good point there, Wayne. That's why I have several is
various styles and a wide range of calibers. But within reasonable
range I like a .45. It seems that "one shot cures all'

Yeah, for you. For me the first round would probably go into a wall, the second in the guy's hand,
and maybe the third in his chest. Hell, I might as well be using cheap 9mm ammo to do that with!

When I bought my Key West, the dealer and I agreed on the price. Then he asked how I wanted to
finance it, offering me a choice of three banks/loan organizations he worked with. I told him I
wanted to put it on my VISA. He gave me a funny look, like, "Are you bull****ting me?" Then he said
he had to make a phone call. He came back and said I could put only $10,000 on VISA at one time -
rules of his accounting firm (?). OK, so I said I'd put up $10,000 as a down payment, and then pay
off the boat when it came in. He said that would work. Then, when the boat came in, I put another
$10,000 on my VISA. Because of the rewards program, I got 3% of the $20,000 back. The dealer wasn't
thrilled. I pulled a similar deal when I bought my 5th wheel trailer.

The credit, for the month or so of each charge, was free!

Yeah, sure, credit is free. Dumbass, you still don't get it and never
will, apparently.

It wasn't free to my bank! They paid me good bucks for using the credit they extended!

You bank will just find a way to 1000 other people with exhorbitant
fees for overdrawn checks or teller visits or debit card purchases. No
matter, you got what you wanted, screw everyone else.

Bleeding heart liberal?

Would you be happier if I sent my bank a couple hundred dollars each month just to hold down the
costs for folks like you and Kevin?

You're a joke.

John, I really liked my Walther .22

http://cdn.ammoland.com/files/wp-con...5/Walther-PPK-...

Walther makes a beautiful handgun. Can you convert it to a .40 caliber?

Er...I dont' think so.

That's the advantage of the Sig Sauer above.

Why not get a .22 AND a 40, then you don't' have to screw around with
swapping the parts.

'Cause I'm a chip sonsabitch. And, I'd never be able to find the right one when I needed it.

Yes, you got your points and the dealer took it in the shorts because
it cost 'em another 3% to run your card.

Don't think that'll end up driving up prices? Think again. But I
know that all you're concerned about it you.

Just like Walmart shoppers who hate China because they're communists
but love saving money buying cheap ****. Never mind it'll cost their
local grocer and variety store their livelihood and force wages down
in the community, those folks who work for Walmart can all visit the
emergency room for the health care services they can no longer afford.

Short sighted conservatives are always a good laugh.

They just don't get it! On one hand, they'll admit there are fees for
the merchant, and those fees get passed down to the consumer. But they
just can't figure out that a fee is indeed, not free.

If they didn't want to do it, then they wouldn't have agreed to the
deal on those terms.. Sure they took a hit but they sold the boat.
BTW, the dealer also has to pay for the CC processing machine, AND a
monthly user fee. But people who start accepting CC's, usually have
quite an increase in business.

And ultimately, those costs get passed down to the consumer, so the
cards are NOT free. My neighbor, who used to sell and service point of
sale contracts actually laughed when I told him there were people here
who think there credit cards are free just because they pay them off
every month!!

Let's see, you are completely against any idea of wealth redistribution,
but if your credit card fees are redistributed to everyone who buys
goods at a particular store that you use your credit card in, that's
okay, right?
