£14,000 Barclay Card,
£10,000 Nationwide Card,
£10,000 Egg card,
£10,000 SMile Card.

OK, so why bring this up, well since Paintballers share a common interest, and the PA already exists as a de-facto organisation it could be (pending regulator approval), possible and entirely legal to set-up a Paintballers Bank. It would benefit those ballers with cash to save by paying preferential interest rates, and those wishing to borrow through lower credit charges, life insurance etc etc etc. Loan approval is a kinda committee affair, but I think you can see how this could be used for Paintball to finance Paintball. (Say someone wants to borrow to buy a sup-air field etc)

Hmmm, I wonder where you're going with this................................

Surprisingly not difficult to set-up either.........(ok what I explained is highly basic but the theory is there, well it's been a while since my last regulatory exams but I'm 99% sure I'm good). Just in case Hatts & Gillie want to take on anything else

Ok, so you're saying that Anyone could do this.........................

Never lost anything. Merely missplaced over the week-end.

I mean you can't exactly lose $300 Million down the back of the sofa can you.

Just felt like a serious post for once.

I think its a valid point

Tom Tom I believe has a point, I mean I bought a new 36inch widescreen tv, dvd, and VCR and got this from Dixons, I got it on buy now pay 12 months time. This item was £1200 which roughly equates to a Nexus eblade, and was financed thru I think Lombard but could be wrong. In the end the finance company takes the risk not the Paintball store.

I know that If i owned my store it would be one of the 1st things I would do and offer as I know I would get loads of business.

I know pc manufacturers offer finance and lets face it the accepted resell value of a top of the range PC after 3 years is 5% of the original value, I think a Nexus eblade, or DM4 will be worth more than £50 after 3 years.

Just my 2p worth.

*Edit - As for credit cards well they are handy but I prefer to keep mine as an emergency backup, you never know when your washing machine/fridge freezer is going to bugger up.

Yep, but HP agreements are a more expensive form of finance. The list price of the Nexus might be £1248 now, but over three years it would actually cost you in the region of 1500-1600 quid.

Still it's up to the individual.

You are better saving that much a month and then just buy outright the marker you want, (cause lets face it by the time you have saved for it you know the newest toy it out but at the same kinda price)

You then have no finance worries or credit cards
But it does not stick with the I want it now thinking

You will find that the rules governing credit unions have been changed and their scope has been widened.
You also will find that your first loan will be limited to £200 after that ie paid off, then you will be able to borrow upto 4 x your savings.
