I'm doing an informal survey of Merchant Service- mobile Credit processing companies, formats and machines.  Just did a monthly market in the delightfully quaint town of Gruene Texas and had the show's good bottom line burned by two bad credit transactions. I have had exceptional luck with the old knuckle buster, but it looks like the luck has run out.  Sadly, There are just more people willing to rip-off art vendors nowadays. That includes my Merchant Services company.  So, it's time to get a mobile Electric machine that won't bruise my knuckles and my bottom line.

A brief research has me thinking about 1st National Processing and their Nurit 8020 wireless machine. What is your preference??? It would be a great help to hear about your experiences and thoughts on this subject.

There is an overload on the net about this subject but I want to hear from fellow vendors who are actually working with this vital part of our business.  There's nothing like real world experience.

It is a painful experience to see that red ink printout "Declined" when batching in Monday morning... shakes up my confidence in judging character as well.

Thank You,  Tommy
