About the only thing I would say to the folks running York and even other train shows is finding a way to make it easier for dealers and people with tables to accept credit cards and the like. Given how expensive this stuff is, it is kind of clunky to have to carry around a lot of cash and the ATM machines have limits on how much you can take out (I know, this is nothing new). You don't even have to use credit cards, it is possible to use payment vendors like Venmo to send money via email for example. I think people would make a lot more sales if that was made easier,especially if they want to attract younger people, where cash transactions are not all that common.

Overall I enjoyed it and hopefully I can make the April show.

Just as an aside, there are apps one can download for free to their cellphone (Square is one of them) and set up an account to accept credit card payments through your cellphone. All you need is a bank account and a cellphone.

No reason the EDTCA people need to get involved - any dealer/seller can easily set up such an account to accept credit card payments themselves.
