There will be armed security, and unarmed security, present. The event is in the gym at a large Catholic Church, not a good spot for criminals to attempt a robbery or other criminal action. All purchases will include a receipt that will be checked at the exit. We also will have a tailgate sale outside the gym, so any robber fleeing the scene probably would get run over by one of our older parishioners who can't see any color other than red, due to cataracts.
All the "vendors" are hobbyists, and not a company, so your transaction will be a matter of what each individual vendor desires. I do know that generally everyone accepts cash, and all vendors except one are long time Gateway Audio Society members. We have three banks with a ten minute drive in south county.
As far as the upper crust, we are far from that - we are closer to the bagette and crouton scene. Watch out for my son, if he sees you with a wad of cash, he will stalk you and demand you buy a root beer float from him.:yes:
