    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was curious- when vending, how much cash do you carry to use as change when customers want to pay in cash? How many 1's, 5's, 10's, and 20's?

Thanks!
 
It really depends on what you are selling, and the pricing...and, to some extent, your willingness to accept lower prices.

If I'm not selling low priced supplies, I don't need to carry singles. I make sure I have 10 x $5 bills; 10 x $10 bills, and 15-20 x $20 bills; and that has always worked well for me...but I don't do a high volume of business at most shows. More cash paying customers means needing to be able to make more change; but, since there will be money coming in, it should work out.

Yea I made the mistake last weekend at Repticon Reno to have my dubia cups priced at $7 needless to say I was scrounging for $1 all day! The next day I just threw in more dubia in each cup at $10 and they sold just fine still. I've learned now to keep it at incriments of $5 and i always start with min of 15 $5 10 $10 10 $20 but it all depends on how much your pricing is I tend to sell a lot of $35 dollar dragons so I need a lot of $5
