I haven't even included the point of sale machines and regular bank fees! ....geez I better get back to work in order to pay these guys!
Oh, and did you attend some Highland Games or Celtic Faires, this year? I know that the Pleasanton Games charges $150 for a Vendors tent. Of course it takes a day to get there and set up, and a day to get home.....when you're not selling or sewing. Go to five or six of those and you just spent $1,000 in vendors fees and gas.

I didn't know that a Rewards Card cost the seller more that a "regular card"!
