what about us poor starving college kids?

[shade23]

Hey just a thought here,

I am a huge mag fan (who isn't?), I own an automag RT with LX , Blade intelliframe, and an Evolution 2. what I want now is an x-mag but I am on a budget, why doesn't AGD have a payment plan for people like us, I am sure I am not the only one and I AM DYING TO GET MY HANDS ON AN X-MAG!!!!

What a payment plan? Get a credit card

[shade23]

yeah I am considering that as an option but I really have an objection to it because I would be tempted to spend myself into massive amounts of debt. Honestly though what would be so wrong about setting something like that up?

Shartley, I'd like to compare my "lack of expendable income" when I was in school to any working family man. I once collected aluminum cans around campus for a week just to buy a $3.75 six pack of Bud Dry. Thats pathetic.

No, honestly though I agree with you. I've always been an advocate of save your pennies if you really want some thing. There's no easy way out.

I have been placing cash money in an envelope weekly, bi-weekly, etc. so that when the X-Mag gets here, I'll have enough money to slam on the counter so that I can walk out with my new toy.

Of course, due to the delays, I have now saved up enough so that I can get the X-Mag, Evil Pipe (which I now have), a Flatline and enough paint to re-do the Taj Mahal. Of course, the weather here in N. Texas has taken a bad turn and I probably will not see a game of paintball until March. C'est la vie.

I would assume the reason they dont have a payment plan is because it'd be costly to them "out of pocket" ... because they'd have to manufacturer the mag, and even though they'd eventually get the mag money back (say 9 months) they had to pay for it up front, put that on a larger scale they're manufacturing 100 mags and thats gonna get quite costly out of pocket for them, and since they're s smaller company thats gonna ding em hard. Then what happens if ya dont pay? They have to go and try to collect which is gonna cost them more money, adn if you still dont pay they send it to a collection agency who buys it back for 70 cents on the dollar and they've lost 30% of the money they'd make.

Its just hard for a smaller company to do, although I personally would like to see it, its unlikely.

Sincerely,
Dave

Guitar companies actually have payment plans, so do some pet stores. I don't think it's that unreasonable.

Credit cards are great, but they should really be used as emergency funds. In non-emergency situations, the best thing you can do is not put anything on your credit card that you cant pay off by the end of the month. Force yourself to do this, and you'll be on easy street when it comes time to buy a house or new car. And you wont have to call me and expect me to figure out a way for your credit not to get ruined (I have worked at a credit card company for the last few years).
