card reader or app. for bring & buy

[simonineaston]

As the Moulton BoA meeting looms in the calender, I'm going to take the opportunity to have a right old clear out - I've got a ton of Moulton-orientated kit I don't need. At the same time I'm conscious that a lot of folk just don't carry cash much any more.
Do you, dear reader, have any recent experience of the Square Reader (or similar devices)? I imagine it's fast coming into regular use with all sorts of folk, from caterers, tradespersons and like in my case, just doing bring & buys or car boot meets.

On the face of it, it sounds good. I imagine that only the organised will bring cash to the B&B - using a card reader, especially for contactless payments, has got to be waaaay more attractive to both parties - no float, pay by phone etc. yadda yadda. I think I might give it a try.

Reader arrived yesterday. Set it up this morning and have made a couple of test payments. Unit seems robust and simple. Everything works as promised. So far, so good.
If anyone wants any info about this, please ask. Not directly related to bicycling of course, but great for parts sales, cycle jumbles, bring&buy yadda yadda
