I have been reading all the posts,I don't do the credit card thing,I haven't been asked that ,maybe 2 or 3 times in my 15 yrs of selling,I have noticed in my area this year that it has been a bad yr for not only for me but other venders as well,People weren't buying this yr as they bought in past yrs.no matter where I went.I still have a couple of other events to go to,Hopefully I will have better luck.
