payment methods at card shows
I'm thinking of getting a table at a card show for the first time and am wondering what others would recommend setting up to receive payments. Cash is fine obviously, but I wouldn't prefer that if someone is buying a card for more than a couple hundred dollars. Right now all I have set up is PayPal. I would have stuff for sale from $1 up to about $2000.

square reader is so simple if you have a smart phone. I use it constantly for shows and auctions.

A square reader is the difference between only being able to make a sale for the 40 bucks in someones pocket or now opening the door to sell a 2k item to anyone with the credit limit. Every one should have one.

I have a friend who has Square, and the makerspace also had it for their retail space. It's pretty impressive, as it's not just a card processor, but has a lot of inventory management stuff that comes with it. You don't have to use that, but it's there. The basic thing works with a phone or tablet, and is a simple card reader. But it can be setup with a lot of optional stuff, a chip reader -Possibly a big plus, barcode scanner - maybe not so useful depending on inventory, There's a tablet stand that's pretty cool, and it also has a variety of cash drawers available.

Just prefer not to be robbed and figure it's more likely if there are people around who know I'm carrying hundreds of dollars in cash.

 I don't know if I am anywhere near a typical buyer, but based on the complaints from many dealers about how slow business is, I likely have way more cash in my pocket than they do. I only buy with cash and will have enough money to buy anything that may strike my fancy within reason.
