Ed.... And others.....

>     A piece of advice- Dont take checks from strangers!.

    Any suggestions on what to do at trade shows? (I mostly wholesale)
    I've tried the "Credit Card only for first time accounts" thing and
    some stores get kinda offended that I won't take a check. I hear:
    "I've been in business for a million years.... I'm the biggest
    jewelry store in Nowhere, NJ.... Everyone else here takes
    checks...." and so on and so forth. I'm still trying to find a polite
    way to say "Well, I don't know you from Adam, and would you take a
    3,000 check from a customer in your store from out of state?" I guess
    I could say the check has to clear the bank before I ship, but I'm
    not sure how that would go over either. 

    Still trying to figure this one out!

    PS-- I used NJ as a example 'cause I was born there which gives me
    the right to bag on it a little :) I actually have two amazing
    accounts there-- have more bum accounts here in California- go
    figure!
