Borrowing money for a pinball?


shooter

Recommended Posts

Hello all

 

Well im at the point were i've decided I really want a pinball machine. I have found one on ebay in my city, rare. Im at the stage where i would really love to buy it. Its working all good, but may need a little touching up (rust on the rails/side of the machine).

 

The only 2 pinballs I want at this stage are STARGATE and LORD OF THE RINGS. I know that LOTR will go for a huge amount of money.

 

How much do you think a stargate pinball will go for?

 

Are there any in dealers? I would prefer to buy from a dealer as then I know its all safe/working/cleaned.

 

I was looking at getting a loan for $3K 2years. But after looking i might need to get a loan for $5k as most bans dont allow for a loan of 3K.

 

Any input would be fantastic.

 

 

Also... please dont buy the pin im wanting :P

When looking into it at 2 years to repay you are only payign an extra $300 ontop ofthe borrowed amount. & people borrow money for TV's/computers. The whole pay X per week flexirent is just like borrowing.

Stargate on ebay now I think. I would say try it out if you can, and keep some money aside to get it serviced. Your not gunna need 5k, I would say 3k would be safe, taking into account an "unknown" repair maybe needed. Credit unions do smaller loans. Dunno why that guy wouldnt clean that machine up (poorly maintained maybe), me thinks it may well a good service. Yeah, just had a look that playfield wear is right down to the wood and of a decent size, and he lists other problems.... this machine will need work. Dont wanna put you off it though, get it for the right price because you seem to be in the same boat as me........do not find money easy to come-by! Do not bid until the last 30seconds of the auction either (bidding it up b4 then is crazy). Also Stargates come up on ebay fairly regularly, but are pretty popular.

Goodluck!

This is how I afford my machines. I use my Citi Bank 9.98% credit card to get a cheque from Citi Bank at the same rates, it is like a balance transfer.

 

They send the cheque, you cash it in and then go get what you want.

 

BUT remember it isn't yours till you pay 100% back!

yeah i know it isnt mine until i pay it back.

 

Thanks for the advice. Who knows.. maybe banks wont give me any money. I dont have a credit history at all. IO have stayed away from credit cards etc. This would be my FIRST "loan/credit" on anything.

 

But yes., if i buy 2nd hand not from a dealer i would get it serviced almost straight away. then weigh up how much the cost will be if they do the reapirs or how much it will be if i TRY (the word TRY is very important).

I pay off my toy's then use them to swap for others etc.

 

My CV cost me $6K ALL PAID OFF

My TOTAN cost mer $5K Almost PAID OFF

My Bartop Cost me $600 ALL PAID OFF

My Tabletop Cost me $1K ALL PAID OFF

 

Credit Cards are only bad if YOU DON'T PAY THEM BACK! :lol

 

Fucking shits me some of the story's i hear "I thought it was free money for 12 months, now they want me to pay! Credit cards are so bad because they trap people" WTF! You borrowed you pay back!

 

How fucking simply does it have to be :badgrin

Wait till thursday, I dont have the money yet.

 

Who knows.. the banks might decide not to give me any money.

 

the major reason im after a stargate is that the only pins my other half would let me buy are stargate or lord of the rings. LOTR is super expensive :( so stargate it is.

 

thanks for this, tho i wouldnt mind if you bidded for it either. Alls fair in love and pinball machines :P

i would love for people to lay off until wednesday/thursday (it ends friday) as i need to confirm money 100%. But i cant be angry about it, it happens or it doesnt. that simple.

 

If i dont get this 1.. i will have the money (if i get the money) to ask dealers for one, better condition hopefully hehe :)
