I was hiking On Mt. Charleston today and taking zillions of pictures like I love to do. My 3 year old digital SLR camera has had it; the guts are dust saturated.
I have a 10 day trip through the Rockies coming up; a 30 year dream being realized...but my good camera is toast. Coming off the mountain I go to Ritz Camera to drool over a camera and lense I've been stuying but can't afford before this trip. Lady says "0% interest for 10 months if you qualify." We've all heard that before and hopefully know better by now but ya know what! I make decent money and I can pay this easy enough. I have photography, backpacking and motorcycling for hobbies that's what its been forever for me. I have what I want and need very little to keep the overhead up. I also owe very little. "Go ahead. Let's see what they say" I tell the girl.
$4500.00
I got a $4500 line with Ritz/Wolf Camera for an $1000 purchase. I gave the girl $500 cash and put the rest on the new account.
I have a great deal of Camera equipment and I don't need a bunch of stuff but this Trade Line just increased my available credit limit by 164%. It will also let me use two regular cards and stay using less than 50% of my accounts at any given time.
Now, I've got some seriously young credit but all I'll ever need is one more prime account and to loose the Orchard.
There is hope for us who are really trying to do right and rebuild.
