Yet nothing in the processing agreement or state law prevents a merchant from offering a discount for cash/check transactions. Semantics are everything. I just accept that processing fees are part of the cost of doing business, so everyone gets a fair price, regardless of how they pay.

Exactly. If you post a price and/or quote a price, you Cannot Increase that price at the time of payment WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPE OF TENDER OFFERED. You can, however, DECREASE the price, in the form of a Discount, for Preferred Tender Modality.

In short: If you post or quote a price for a product/merchandise in a Licensed Retail Establishment, in Colorado, that price is only subject to Increase by the addition of State & Local Sales Taxes... PERIOD.

They need to change their signs and wordage. I am a retailer and the processing from Visa and MC are very clear. You can offer a cash discount off the marked or posted price,, you can NOT have a price then upcharge for using a credit card.. Their signs say "Prices marked reflect a cash discount, 3% will be added for credit card usage." They really need to change that to be in full compliance with merchant processing laws in Colorado. It needs to read. Prices marked do not reflect a 3% discount if cash sale. Or 3% discount on all cash sales. Maybe I will mention it to her when I am in the store today.
Im sure that will be a popular conversation...

I'm no great fan of 5280- but it looks to me like you have a personal issue.

As a newbie to the AR-15 world I wasn't incredibly thrilled with the man that assisted me. So hear is my letter to him via co-ar15.com


Dear Guy With Bad Customer Service Skills(working in a customer service position),

I understand policies of 1 gun out at a time, but don't get "huffy" and "puffy" if I want to hold 4 guns 3-4 times a piece. Don't get an attitude when I ask what this particular manufacturer recommends for ammunition(steel vs brass), and what the break in process. I know that I am only going to spend one thousand measly dollars on this gun and accessories.

Thanks and never return to your shop,
Owner of his first of many Ar's and etc.

Went in there today, they are much bigger in store size since the last time I was in there. Must have something to do with the flat out ridiculous pricing I saw on many items.

Yesterday I witnessed 2 customers that said " I have to go to the bank and get the cash,or, i gotta go to an ATM and will be back". This has to happen all the time. Once a customer leaves the store, that customer has the chance to not come back. Get the Money now. Don't give them the chance to leave without buying. That's just not smart business. On the other hand, people pack their store and shell out cash and cards all day long (when they are open) so the are obviously doing something right. I'm a noob and my wallet has puked all over their store. But they still need to change the sign and price tags.

Been shopping for an AR-15 for the past couple of weeks and finally got across town today to shop at 5280. The selection there was great and Ron spent all the time I needed to pass several rifles across the counter. Ron also was a big help to my sister who was there looking to purchase her first semi-auto pistol. Gina efficienty handled the paperwork and we were outta there in good time - both satisfied customers!

I went there yesterday to look and I ended up buying some ammo and other small items. I was surprised to have "No Returns" stamped on my receipt. They going out business?
