Need help here

[k8mmg]

Anyone know of an amateur radio equipment dealer/distributor that does financing for us poorer folk? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly OM...

You would probably be better off going to the bank/credit union and tell them you want a secured loan for radio equipment.

Your interest rate would probably be TONS better than "90 day same a cash". When I buy my next rig, thats what I am going to do (or try anyway)

Or do what I do.
Sock 20, 50, 75, or 100 bucks away a month, until you have enough. (which I do for some things)
Or find a dealer/individual that will take payments on a layaway plan. (which I did for the rig I have)

The latter is the easier to swing, as they know if you default, they keep the money and can sell to someone else.

Anyway, financing is a game, where you always end up paying more; cash is the best option..
