Just curious how many people have done that and what it was.
Personally this is how I bought two washers and dryers (exhusb) got he first set and also how I am paying for my laptop.

yeah my daughter's bedroom furniture. That crap cost me a couple grand and is worth a couple hundred. NEVER AGAIN!
They keep calling me begging me to come get something else. So annoying.

Washer and dryer in the early 1980's

While convenient when you cannot afford to buy it outright or with a credit card - you always pay a higher price for it. There are some personal loans that would cost less than some of the places that have the rent to own option.

Yeah, a washer and dryer, but we ended up buying different ones.

I have, but I don't recommend it because you wind up paying double or triple the actual cost of the item. I did buy a futon at RAC because it was the only place that had one I liked. We have excellent credit but we were treated very shabbily. I suppose this is because they may have some clientele that are fly by nighters. But, I will never purchase anything there again.

No you pay way more than the item is worth, get a credit card with a 0% intro rate and pay the min balance each month and it would be much cheaper.
Heck with a lot of credit cards it's cheaper even after the intro rate

Yes I have used it to buy a laptop and also to buy a Big screen TV. I knew that I was paying just as much as if I had charged it but I don't like to use credit for large purchases.

Yep. I even worked at a rent-to-own store. I have bought several items such as stereos, living room sets, computers, and recliners.

yes once,you end up paying for the item sometimes three or four times its actual value but if you cant go another route its an ok but costly one
