Customs Question

and re Courts. Believe me I blamed my fiance more for going to Courts than Courts for doing business - no one forces you to go there. She bought something there the first day she started a job that was going to take 3yrs to pay. Then within 2 weeks things turned out she couldn't work for that boss anymore. And you know how hard jobs of any kind are to find in JA. I just don't know how Courts could ever have approved her credit.

But in relating that experience, I heard the same over and over again from many others. It just seems that is Courts business model (as it is here in the US with other RTO businesses). They are setup as place of last resort for people who really don't have the money or good credit to afford something. And their prices and financing terms reflect that. But hey, I'm a free market guy - so where there's a demand a business has every right to form and try to meet it. I was more thinking their prices were too high - that they were not an option as a place for me to consider buying the TV that I have been talking about - than they shouldn't be an option for others.

I know it's old fashioned, but what ever happened to denying yourself pleasure in the short-term for a long-term goal, and save up ahead of time for these type of purchases. They would avoid the high prices and finance costs. But hey, the whole US economy went in the tank because I am in the minority on that opinion.

OK I realize I got my soapbox out again - but last time (I hope).
