    Thanks everyone for your input about accepting checks at trade shows
    vs. Credit Cards. I needed that reality kick in the pants! I'm going
    to print out some of these so that when I attend the shows I can
    refer back to them when my resolve starts to falter! 

    One more question, if you don't mind... This is geared towards store
    owners.... 

    When you buy from designers, how do you pay? Would it turn you off if
    you were picking up a new line and they asked for a credit card for a
    deposit? I know of some designers at JCK (in the design section) who
    require a 15% non-refundable deposit, and I don't think it hurts
    their business. However, I do the California Gift Show and the Rosen
    Show (and the alternative Philly show in Winter because I can't get
    into Philly in the winter yet-- I"ll post more on that one later!),
    and I don't know how the buyers there would respond. Especially Cal
    Gift, kinda a smaller show in terms of "handmade jewelry". 

    I'm a little stuck. I'm not desperate, I don't want to appear
    desperate, but I need to do a certain amount at these shows if I'm
    gonna make it. So, I need to increase sales without appearing needy.
    But, I need to CMA- and make sure I get paid for what I produce!!! 

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks,
Amery
