    You crack me up, In my state of Nebraska Tractors are a EVERYDAY THING. They drive on the HIGHWAY ALL THE TIME. And sometimes you will get lucky to hear about the BIG PROBLEMS HERE when you are listening to the scanner and you hear a call go out for a COW or SHEEP or PIG on the highway and they need to get there ASAP. Lol yep it happens ALL THE TIME!!!!! lol

    Seeing someone act that way to attract her as someone who sees a tractor on her drive to work almost every single day is insane to me how different peoples lives can be. It’s a cool experience and until you’re running late, get stuck behind it forever.

    We had a Van in the middle of the farmer's market last Saturday. It didn't affect my sales thankfully, I actually had my best day since I started. I made 14× my vendor fee and sold a third of my stock

      @@crochetvision Thank you! I even sold a few interactive plushies that I made free hand, it was really exciting.
      A police officer showed up but the van was from out of town and they couldn't contact the owner so it wasn't towed. The market uses part of a parking lot and they don't post signs saying not to park there before we set up. To be honest the coordination is lacking but I only pay $35 for the booth fee.

    It probably was a child driving a tractor. My boys all learned to drive the tractor at a young age. Heck, they were in skid loaders at age 5! The markets I have been to will charge more for credit cards and they state that. It isn't just markets, the businesses, in my area, are doing that also.

    Too bad it didn’t go so well. One of the reasons I’ll never leave my full time job, I can’t rely on my crochet, the economy sucks and nobody wants to buy, lest that’s here for me anyways. A store recently asked me to sell stuff in her store, so that was cool, and already sold things too. I prefer working full time and doing crochet as part time. Sadly too, lots of people a learning to crochet and make their own stuff too.

    what a strange event! Def audience matters! and even though its *good* you didnt make a loss, IT STILL was a loss overall. You only profited pennies if that. I do hope that furure events go better. It also may be the heat wave hot weather, ik that sounds kinda stupid but Its miserable were i live and i cant even stand outside for more then a few mins. I do wonder if when things kinda cools down a teeny bit things would be better.

    More and more vendors and small businesses are asking clients to pay in cash, because if you cumulate all the small fees, it becomes a substantial amount at the end of the year. Those small businesses explain why. However, most still offer the card option though.

    Did other vendors say why they aren’t taking credit cards? Would assume it has nothing to do with taxes and avoiding to pay taxes…never say never we though!
    My take on no credit cards would be because people are “buying” then disputing charges. I don’t know how easy it is for a business to fight this but I would expect there’s a reason some won’t do credit cards.
    I would also put out there, if you are taking credit cards charge that fee back to the customer. All of my household bills have extra fees if I pay with a credit card…so do the same. My car repair place charges an additional 5ish percent to pay with a CC. They have a sign that says “save 5% if you pay with cash”…you can sure bet I show up with cash!! I know this might be a small amount of cash, but any cash saved is worth it to me.

    I don't know how large this last event was but my husband and I go to a place called Boxwood Farms that has small events over the summer and fall and he advertises the event as 'cash preferred' I have no opinion of cash or card, we keep cash in the car for farm stands and what not so we always have cash and card. But if it's an event like this and venders prefer cash, thats something that should be advertised.

    would you ever sell on live auction app because there is an app called whatnot and as long as you ship out the stuff people buy from you i think you can make good profit and you can choose how long you live auction for , would you be interested in trying apps like whatnot to sell your stuff on ?

      I'd consider it. I just found out about the app. But I feel like i'd still have to drive my own traffic and at that point I feel like I'd be better off being on youtube or tiktok live and sending people to my website.
