Thanks for all the advice so far! Please keep it coming... This is super useful.

Also a good way to track sales. Do people know to bring cash to the event? Also make sure to have lots of small bills for making change.
You are absolutely right, the fee is 2.75%. The reader does sound convenient, but it's also asking me for a business name which may have other implications... so I am still wondering if I should go that route. People will bring cash I am sure, and I will make sure to go to the bank and get a lot of change before the event.
I will probably encourage cash transactions as much as possible, and will have the reader as a back up in case someone didn't bring any.
I am hoping that my daughter & her friend will be in charge of tracking sales (with some minor supervision on my end). Maybe a little clipboard with a list. I don't think we will be inundated with buyers, so it should be fairly easy.
