I would challenge @MarineDepot to bring in another credit lender for larger purchases that offer the 0% for x amount of months also. Just like @WhiskeyCoffee stated in his opening argument that he bought a washer with that type of promotion. This would drive traffic, help people ( if they choose to use this option) to make larger purchases and not come off as negative.
Thoughts?
So you don't think it's reasonable to be skeptical when staff and partner members defend the company(ies) in question?
@mdbannister - find me a staff member that agreed with me. (Hint: There isn't one!) Also find me a partner member that agreed with me (Spoiler: There isn't one!) My thoughts are all within reason.
Im sure Ill catch hell for reviving an old thread but figured I would throw my two cents in as someone looking to get into the hobby. I see people saying well thier is no fraud protection and just wait and get someones tear down.... Where the hell is the fraud protection in that. Why did they tear it down. Why spend all that money just to be done with it. I know people have hard times in this hobby and just get frustrated and done. However if that equipment was missused or abused then you have just bought somones broken project. Guess what that takes money to fix. Another point is I agree the apr is a little high however considering you are buying all new gear from a reputable store with warranties from the factory on the items you are buying I do not see the big oh no scam scare people are refering too. The other issue with saltwater hobby is its market driven and guess what you all keep paying the 400-xxxx amount of dollars for just a dang light. Then wonder why people choose to go this route. I did a check to see what this kinda deal would get me on a bunch of gear and a nuvo 40. for 1200 I would pay roughly $122 in intrest over 6 months. Maybe Im nieve or I just love capatilsm in work but that seems to be a small price to pay to be able to stretch my money out to allow me to get started in the hobby. I understand people will say well i can get this on ebay and this here and this of craiglist or facebook market place. Yes you can. You can also build a tank over year or years of building. However I am a human and time is limited and frankly If I do not have to wait for forever to get a decent setup and then piece from the foundation I got started then im all for it. Sory I have sleep issues and felt maybe a voice from the other side would spark some new conversations about this instead of a Marine Depot flame thread as they are just giving the customer another way to get into the hobby without having to throw down a whole tax return then turn around and say where did that just go.
Never finance a depreciating asset.
Do you have the same opinion of a car loan?
