    i'm assuming by new york you mean the state, not just the city.
    anyways- I like your number two response of making the potential
    customer start by making an offer. it's usually a good place to
    start. A caution about sales tax. You must show it on the receipt.
    Don't put sales tax included. If by some reason you are audited by
    the state they will charge tax on the bottom line plus fines and
    penalties. Welcome to NY. I counter this by marking up my pieces by
    an extra 10% and then tell them the tax is included if the customer
    doesn't want to pay it but I'm sure to show it on the receipt. They
    make inexpensive calculators with this function built in. We use them
    in my shop all the time.
