Selling in 2008 was a whole different game. Merchant's were so scared to take out money while the financial markets were collapsing. Merchants didn't know if their doors would be open in a couple months so getting them to take on debt wasn't an easy sell at all.

I actually found quite the opposite. It was the funding companies that turned all yellow and were tightening up more and more

True on the funders.....but I had a lot of merchants that were "fence sitters". They wouldn't make a decision because each week the financial news changed and they were reluctant to pull the trigger. They wouldn't say no or yes. Kept pushing off the decision.
