I know if you pre-order a machine you get certain monthly payment thresholds to hit while you're paying off the machine before release. What if I wanted to buy a game that is already out, is there a retailer that supports a payment plan of more manageable payments($300-$500 a month or so)?
I know that just putting the entire machine on a credit card and paying that off would do the trick also but it would require a credit card with that much available credit and the interest on the machine would suck.
Thoughts?

Thanks

I don't mind paying cash for pins I can get second hand through the marketplace but getting a chunk of money in the 5K range for a new machine is a pain. Obviously having the cash on hand to just purchase what I want is the best way to do it but paying off monthly is something I'd be able to do more easily.

Sorry, doing what exactly?

This is really good advice. Maybe you just start near the bottom and wheel and deal to up trade for what you want.

Hahahaha, very fair point. Unfortunately it is the name only.

As always the thread is filled with great opinions and ideas. As a newbie pinball enthusiast I am very thankful for all of the posts!

Thanks for the response Frax, it's very helpful information. I was a bit concerned about that idea anyway but hearing it said puts the idea into perspective.
