    If they offer 12 months interest free, will they give a discount for cash? Interest free is free to the customer but not to the shop.

    I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to offer a different price for finance.

    I didn't mean that. Assume the gun was listed at £500 and the shop offered interest free credit. One way or another, that is going to cost the shop, so they could well be willing to give a discount on the list price for getting immediate payment in full.

    Ah, but it amounts to the same thing, Derek. They're not allowed to "dual price", so the price has to be the same whether the customer is paying in full or via credit. Let's say it's a £500 purchase and it might cost the shop £50 to subsidise the cost of offering the 0%. Customer says he will pay cash and the shop says they will give £50 discount. If that customer then turned round and demanded the lower price AND the 0%, the shop would have to honour this = shop loses out.

    Didn't realise that that was classed as dual pricing too.
