Never been to one of these before. Anyone know if the vendors usually take plastic or just cash?

ViPeR_930 · #2 05/16/2007, 12:23 AM

Some vendors were able to accept cards. I can't remember who does though, it's been a long time.

mcurl98 · #3 05/16/2007, 12:37 AM

wonder if I could take a laptop and paypal them on the spot (with a wireless card). My bank is not local so once I get the cash out of the machine it stays in my pocket until it is gone...and that doesn't take long.

I think CASH is King and will get you the best deals.

Last time many vendors took plastic, they even had wireless access there and some allowed you to use paypal on their laptops.

Great, thanks!

If they've got a website, they'll most likely take CC and paypal. Most I've seen take paypal regardless. You'll just need to prove it was sent to them

I'm not sure, but I think there will be wireless again. Steve's got a cell phone with a CC swipe on it

One thing I was curious about was the vendor list. Does it seem smaller than last years, or are there some that aren't listed?

brianbigoats · #9 05/16/2007, 12:28 PM

i know of at least 2 vendors that are not coming this year that were there last year

sfsuphysics · #10 05/16/2007, 12:52 PM

I think I read somewhere that they're only have a half room, last year the room was fairly full as it is. So a few might not be showing up.

They should just use PayPal Mobile. Save people having to bring a laptop.

Yeah I saw Steve's cellphone attachment when I bought my War Coral from him in the auction. That was pretty cool haha. But yeah cash wouldn't hurt to bring (unless you can write off your purchases as a business expense).

AWExotics · #13 05/16/2007, 06:13 PM

Always bring cash.. but 5 or 6 vendors will accept credit.

I accept Cash, Visa, MC, AMEX, Discover.

Most dealers are looking for the sale and will try their darndest to make it happen

I watched vendors run over to other vendors and use their computers at both the SW and BA last year and this year. But yah, cash does a lot of talking now adays

I take cash, credit, heck, I'll even trade for frags

you guys are in for a treat if todd for AWE brings down what he had at a local frag swap... he had some very nice cali torts. i need to get one of these for myself.

Nukeproof · #22 05/18/2007, 03:12 PM

I already spent $200 at the BACFM and it's not even Sunday. Maybe I should just pickup my coral and run out the door before I go home with a penny in my pocket.
