Have you ever thought about renting from a rent a center or other rental store?

Before I got married to my husband he had a stereo thought a rent place. He made all the payments but by the time he made all of them he had basically paid for the stereo twice. I don't think I would do it again.

My desktop comp. that we've had for several years, our laptop that I just got back in July, and stove are all from Rent A Center.

I am definelty a rent-a-center fan. It helps those of us who don't have the cash on hand have all the nice things they would like to purchase. The laptop im using now is from rent-a-center, the 34 inch flat screen tv and surround sound sitting in my great room is also from rent-a-center. I just recently purchased a new HP desktop from them- haven't taken it out of the box yet and had it a month ....lol...im getting to it. I have also bought a washer/dryer combo and stove from them. I appreciate thier services and you are absolutely right about anything that goes wrong- they have a man out to you in a heartbeat.

The computer I am on now came from aaron's rental. I bought it out in three months which was great. I don't I compared my computer to dell and it's was better to pay it right out from them. I was going to get a lap top from aaraons a few days ago. But,I thought to just wait till Tuesday. To see if time warner will run faster on my computer. I love the furniture there. But,I would not buy it unless I could buy it out in three months.

My other half swears by Rent A Center. If it were up to me, and call me strange, I would rather hunt around for free stuff or very cheap stuff. But everyone differs when it comes to that.
You are correct however ctry at it is a good deal as everything in this place is from the rental place and is excellent quality and can always either be exchanged or replaced or fixed. I agree, if I was going to go that route, I would choose the Rent A Center and they are always very good with their customer service and go out of their way to be friendly. Plus you don't have to be moving stuff yourself LOL

i have thought about it, but the only thing that bothers me is when they take the furniture back from people who could not pay for it, they then resale it. i am not comfortable with sitting on someone elses farts

I have never done it, but did look into renting. The price you end up paying in the long run was to much for me to get items that way. I did consider a computer because my computer skills aren't the best; however, the added cost would mean my computer was going to cost to much more.

I have never really thought about renting computers and furnishings from a store. Is it expensive to rent as opposed to purchasing an item yourself? hmmm might be a good way to go if you know you are only here for a short period of time i.e a year at the most!

I have personally not ever did that, but my son and his wife did,and they were very happy with all their purchases..They got a living room set and a big screen Tv and i believe some appliances..I think you might pay a little more but they are there to fix your computer if you have a problem and that within itsself is a big PLUS..It cost a lot of money to take your computer and have it fixed.i think that is a good way to get things for people who have not built up their credit or rather pay a small amount each month to pay for their items...I see nothing wrong with that,it seems that they are doing a good job for you..i did not really know that they rented computers,thats great...

A customer came into our shop last week and put a laptop on my desk and showed me a picture of a wedding cake they wanted to have done. I said, "I'll do the cake if I can have your computer! LOL" I've wanted a laptop since before I got a desktop computer back in 1999! I was actually thinking about rent a center and seeing how much I'd have to pay to try one out!
