    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    Some credit cards in the states offer 21-months at 0%. You pay 1% of the transfer fee ($100 for $10K) and then you only have to make the regular payments on your card. This way is a no brainer.

    What I do is I apply for a balance transfer card. When I am approved and get the funds in my bank account, I use my current 2% cash back credit card. I put the pinball on my credit card. Then pay that card with the borrowed (0% balance transfer money).
    In the end I made 1% of my transaction and paid no transfer fee. It's almost like they are paying you to borrow money LOL

    If you combine that with ebates and ebay coupons that come up, you can save even more. With the narrowing of the MSRP and what dealers charge, ebay is a legit place to buy NIB games now.

    Quoted from westofrome:

    Please don't go into debt to buy a pin, even at 0%.

    I would also agree with this. But I'm guessing it's happening a lot.

    I'm not sure what the street price is on deadpool, but to give an example of ebay savings:

    ebay.com link: Deadpool Pro Edition Pinball Machine NEW Free Shipping Stern 2018

    $5799 there.

    2% on credit card rebate
    2% ebates
    $100 ebay coupon (that pop up like once a month)

    4% off $5799 = $232 off

    $5799 - $332 = $5467 delivered.

    This thread is a little surprising to me overall. 10 years ago I would have said the number of machines bought on credit was almost zero. Maybe someone should start a poll on the percentage of NIB purchases that are on credit currently. Makes me think about the 2008 housing boom/bust and how this zero percent down post mirrors the behavior that lead to that.
