    I do a show at the Bazaar Del Mundo in San Diego.  They  have a
    central checkout facility.  When a customer decides they want to buy
     an art piece the artist writes up a receipt.  The customer takes a
    copy of  the receipt to the central check out where they pay for the
    item. The  artist keeps a copy. The customer returns with a copy of
    the receipt  stamped paid and picks up the piece of art. The central
    checkout has credit card  and check verification facilities. At the
    end of the show checks are  written to the artists for the amount
    they sold less commission.  It makes  it easy for the artists
    because they do not have to have credit card  facilities.  By the
    time you get home the check will clear.
