But seriously- glad they are doing this and taking steps forward instead of steps back
You are really hung up on the credit card thing! Yet at shows, there is hardly a soul who will accept a credit card from us collectors! If dealers want to use cards, they need to take cards!
I agree 100%!!

This is a great point! I think that we're seeing a lot of the larger dealers start to take cards at shows as well. We're set up for it, but you do have to be mindful of local tax laws and the fact that you are likely able to negotiate a better deal if you're using a check.
As for credit cards, I think as an industry it's a service that's not offered enough. That's why we accept credit cards up to $10k.

Credit Card purchases require the state tax to be paid...if there is one. A cash sale is an "under the table" transaction...from what I understand.
The tax is required either way. It's also required in most states that have sales tax for you as a buyer to pay your state use tax on Internet purchases. Cash just makes it easier to be a tax evader.
