Trading at Mego Meet

Credit card sales are rare - bring cash unless you've got Paypal mobile

I paid a few people via paypal last year rather than running to the bank machine for the umpteenth time.

Will you be there with all those wonderfull heads and outfits from ebay?

I always bring some stuff...

Since you brought it up: do any of the vendors take credit cards or are these cash only deals?

Something I am experimenting with is the ability to swipe a credit/debit card with either my iPhone or iPad.
I signed up for a freebie (no annual membership fee sort of thing) deal:

Accept credit cards with your iPhone, Android or iPad – Square

They send you the scanner (that plugs into your headphone jack) for free.
They charge 2.75% per transaction and direct deposit it into your account next day.

Who knows if I will really use it...but I guess it's something to have these days.

Rather than lugging bags of stuff around, maybe you can just get a table. Leave your stuff on it and let folks know it's available for cash or trade. Easy peezy.

I use Swipe & Square.

Both have ups/downs. Free to use. % of sales. Nice way for anyone to take a credit card.

I'll be sure to make plenty of cash...I mean bring plenty of cash.

The biggest problem with taking credit cards at a show, especially the meet,
is that it's hard to get signal strength to process the transaction.

Does the Toy and Train Museum have WiFi?

Paypal is a good idea.
