Buying online...does ne1 do this?

[StealthElephant]

I was wondering...large stores sell things like computers, they put them on sale for 1000$, or 100$ a month for 12 months. Someone who wants a computer but can't instantly shell out 1000$ get their computer and pay installments.

Paintball is SOOO expensive...you get someone like me, who has a m98c, wants to upgrade to a higher end electro, but can't afford to dish out 500$+ at once, but I want to get a new gun, enjoy it now, but I simply cant spend that much money in one shot.

Are there currently any paintball stores that will do this? I would much rather pay 650-700$ over a 6-12 month period for a timmy and get the gun NOW, then wait 6 months before I can save the 580$ for it.

It's not a new idea, and I would THINK some places would/could do it. I think it would definately make high end electros much more appealing to the poor man.


just a thought....hehe...i know mike from CP hangs around here...sound like a possibility mike?

iv never heard of anythign do that, but u could probably talk to your local pro shop, but you actually pay extra for paying in installments, hehe im only 16 and i bought a bushmaster for myself with my own money. But if you do the math u lose money and stuff. But the best bet for installment buying is to ask your local store, or even email an online store and try to negociate it heheh :)

Yea, but you get the item alot earlier then if you had to pay in full all at once.

I have 350$ right now, I gave up on a Cocker because I'd never have the time/money to upgrade it to my taste.

I am looking at impulses because they are good/cheap, but I'd love to get my hands on an Orange Fade Timmy. But that is even more expensive. I dont' want to wait another 2 months until I can save up the cash (I have to buy a car also, my 17bday is may15th)

I am really not comfortable buying used, especially online because you don't know what your getting.

hehehe ya, i bought my cocker used online, which turned out good, i bought a flatline tank, which came fine, i guess i have been having good luck. hehe driving, im to lazy to get my licsence, dont wanna mess with having to pay insurance and worry about a car :)

Since u know some tourny guys that play, ask if u could buy one of their electros off them, i bought a cool bushy off my friend for a good deal :)

I'll e-mail mike at CP, see if he's interested in being nice to me :)

the only PB store i live near is the national paintball supply warehouse in salem, that's a big company, i doubt the manager can let me pay on installments. the store is bigger then him..i don't have any small local stores near me to negotiate with

Just put it on a credit card, then make payments to your credit card company.

Basically, you're asking to finance the purchase. Most paintball retailers aren't big enough to also house a financing company. Large computer retailers like Gateway, Dell, etc. can work that, but we can't.

my parents only put on their credit card what they can pay for...they have perfect credit.

thnx for the reply tho mike

ya when u pay over 12 months u pay more because its an annuary so each payment is more than the previous one and you can end up paying an extra 400 dollars on a 700 dollar gun

id much rather pay a store an extra 100-150$ to let me pay installments then support those leeches from credit card companies....


so there are absolutely NO paintball places that will do intallment? there has to be 1 willing to do it...im too lazy to find them so one of you do it 4 me plz thnx :D
