Does Adorama or B&H offer financing?

FlexShopper Lease to Own: only $107 per week.

OMG that's $5564 over the one year lease term. Or an APR of roughly 106%.

Lesson: if you can't afford to pay for it now, you can't afford it.



:agree:   such good advice.  "Lesson: if you can't afford to pay for it now, you can't afford it"


I'm always amazed how people go out and get so excited about a new camera or lens, while having something that already works well for that.  And they decide to put it on a credit card, and they don't pay it off each month.  Before you know it, they are 12+ months into financing this new camera and interest has inflated the purchase price!

Yep, save your money.  The plus side, if you have to save for a little bit, what you wanted might be on sale or reduced in price when you have the $$. 

Bonus!

And that is what we call a sliver lining!

Save your $$.  If you don't have the $$ at that time, avoid charging or financing till you are financially able to pay it off in the same month.  This is how people get their-self's in trouble.

I always love these sorts of comments.

How do you know the OP doesn't have the money? Does it occur to you (or anyone else) that perhaps they're looking for financing options that fit their style? Or perhaps a no-interest deal? How does one assume that using credit automatically leads to trouble?

Hint: it doesn't. What does lead to trouble is misusing credit. And there's no data here that leads to that assessment.

Yup, and this is an over five year old thread. OP could have saved a lot by now....

Why so serious?

Still, I don't finance anything if I don't need too.  Just my personal preference.

Yes, they both offer financing with very lenient approval conditions.   

I would stay away from FlexShopper.  They have the absolute worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.  Further, your agents are unprofessional and disrespectful, they lack product knowledge, skill, accountability, and urgency.  I will never do business with FlexShopper again and I’ll be sure I spread the word to others to keep their distance.
