Why can't you pay for guns like you can cars?

[yatesy]

I have no marker and i can't afford to buy one outright.

But i was thinking i could afford £100 of my monthly income towards a new gun.

What would be ideal for my situation would be, for example,
if i went to Planet and wanted a £1000 EGO,
pay £100 pound straight away,
then every month £100 would be direct debited from my account to Planet for the next 10 months until the full cost was covered.

Similar to a store card system i suppose.

Now to me that sounds like a good idea, as at the minute i am thinking of just buying a cheaper gun like an ion, where as long term if this payment method was available i'd be spending more.

IF THIS SYSTEM ALREADY EXISTS PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE

If it doesn't why not?

Credit card?

Put it on there and pay the minimum (or whatever) off each month.

 

[Dskize]

eh.. its called a credit card dude..

Edit: too slow ^^^

 

[yatesy]

Got one and thats part of my outgoings plus the limit on it is only £500 and i can't extend it, dude.

Save Up ! ??

My old mum used to say, if yo can't afford it, don't buy it !!!

Just save up, it'll be cheaper in the end !

 

[yatesy]

Saving up is what i'm doing
BUT
i haven't got a gun,
so with the limited, extra money i have got to save it will take me a long time:- a long time to go without a gun, the system i am talking about would allow me to keep playing.

if u get a team sponsorship by a company u can but things on wat u call a "Tab" i did it with Lincoln Storm for my EGO, and they give u like 3-4 months to pay it off if u know what i mean

I assume it's because they don't do enough business to make it worthwhile.

Factors include, the extra work involved with credit reference searches, the commission to a 3rd party to run on it on their behalf, the higher likelihood of default by the paintball demographic (?).

Could be a potential goldmine for the first company to try it though.

 

[Ollz - Jnr]

i think Planet Should try it becuase havent they bought out the most different styles of gun this year closly followed by WDP

Why dont you just buy an ion then??

£150 and it can be used out the box and then next month buy a Micro Maxflo £69 and then a freak Jr £35 and Q-lock £25.... Total £279 so that leaves you will £721 so spend on training.
