Verb needed - To Buy

I am looking for a verb meaning "to buy".

However, I don´t want to use "almak" as it also means "to take" and I don´t want to get the two meanings confused.

 

I am thinking of the situation of being in a bar and being served something in a nice glass and asking "bu bardak alabilir miyim?" - "am I able to buy this glass?"    But I don´t want it confused with "am I able to take this glass?"

I think:

 Satýn almak

I think:

 Satýn almak

 

 So would I be correct to say:

"Bu bardak satýn alabilir miyim?"

Or would using the present continuous tense be better???

 

"Bu bardak satýn alabiliyor musum?"
