wireless point of sale for rent

When I pass a yard sale now I wonder if they make any money because I assume people driving by have less and less cash on them then in years back. I always try and put purchases on my credit card because it makes it convenient at the end of the month…. less trips to the bank and one bill to pay. What if you opened up a store where you rented out wireless broadband hand held credit card devices to people who, for example, were running a yard sale? They could tie it to an existing PayPal account so the device vendor wouldn’t have to deal with any of the financial dealings, the person renting it would just have to program it to point at their PayPal account. I am sure there would be a lot more uses for something like this, what about people outside the super market asking for donations (my excuse of ‘no cash’ would no longer work…. foiled by my own idea!!!!)
