Thanks for the advice!

I have set up at every show but the first four shows. I have never accepted credit cards. I prefer cash and have accepted checks in the past, but now I hold the items until the check clears. I have accepted Paypal cash as well but not for very pricey items. In most cases, anyone who gives me a check comes back and pays in cash usually on that same day. Believe it or not, I have known a number of buyers who carry $100,000+ to a show, and sometimes with a bodyguard. Everyone has their own limits, so I am not suggesting that you do the same, just that you could lose out on a special item if you assume that most sellers take credit cards.

Stop by and say hello at booth 600.

Just curious...what sort of reaction would I get from a typical dealer at the National if after purchasing a card for, say, $1200 in cash, I were to ask for a receipt?

They give you one. It may just be written on paper but you get a receipt. Not sure why you think this would be controversial.

I can see a situation where your are showing off a recent purchase and the person you are showing it to claims it was their card, recently stolen. A receipt sure would help your cause.

I agree and one of the reasons they’d give u one I never implied dealers would think it odd. It happens often at the national.

I did not mean to imply anything controversial, it's just that I have NEVER been given a receipt by any dealer at any card show. Ever. But, then again, I've never asked for one. That's why I was curious.

I guess the emoji mislead me of your implications.
