maxman SouthPenn One of the things that is really starting to bug me is the vendors that don't take plastic. SouthPenn I was out of cash so no sale Most of these larger shows have an ATM available. Regarding the taking of plastic, I wonder what it would cost a vendor to have one of those credit card swiping thingys?

Square charges 2.75%, but they're definitely not the only game in town.
IRONROOSTER Cash is how I budget myself at these shows. I take as much as I am willing to spend. When it's gone I'm done. Usually I don't spend all of it and sometimes none of it, but I never go over. Enjoy Paul

Same here, I bring some cash and when it spent, thats it. Since I am a western fan at an eastern show, there are almost never loco's I need or want so thats not usually a problem; usually I do spend all of what I bring. My MO is to make a pass over the whole place to see what is there and then decide where I'm going to spend it, unless I find somthing that I'm sure I want and then I may get it during the first pass.

Cash not only gives you a budget but sometimes negotiating power. I remember picking up enough trees at one show to populate my layout for $5 cash.
