>I didn't have the cash
I alway make sure I have a lot of cash when I go rust hunting.
The thought of seeing a nice Spiers panel plane for 50 pounds, and not having 50 pounds make me feel pretty shaky.

>One of my fears too is not having brought enough $ along so that I miss out on somthing so I do try to keep enough on me.Don't think I ever missed out on somthing I wanted because I didn't bring enough of the green stuff though at some auctions after looking in my pocket i might have slowed my bidding down some.[maybe a good thing!]
I'm always amazed at the small amount of cash many regular people carry.I go over the DC flea market with my girl friend Joanne and often people will have to go across the street to a bank machine to get $10 to pay her. Now these are "up town" folks in big houses and big cars so you know they got it. Sometimes I'll just come right out and ask them how come they don't carry more money and they look at me like I'm from Mars.Been told they worry about spending it,[!?] having it stolin, or that they normaly don't have to use cash for anything much anymore. I'm in another world having never used a bank machine even once in my life and paying cash for everything.In the circles I deal in though this is just how things are done, in cash .....Todd

>I like to deal in cash, too. But I'm thinking that pretty soon, cash will be a thing of the past what with all the new regulations for national driver's licienses, ect. Your financial records will be encoded into it. One day soon, all you'll need to do to buy something is slide your liciense through a reader. It's a sad indeed when that happens.

>I'm one of those people who never carry cash, seldom have more than a dollar or two, including change. It's just easier to use a debit card, I get a written record of the expenditures, and I seem to be less prone to impulse buying.
However, if I were to start habiting auctions and flea markets or take a road trip, I'd carry a lot more cash.
