Well, I thought I would be able to get away with it. As impatient as I am, I was hoping I'd be able to do the Bill Me Later financing option on the huge order I was going to put in. I didn't actually think *I* would be approved, given my limited credit history, and I wasn't, but then I concocted a plan to utilize my parents' credit. I made my parents an offer, said they could take the EP600 off my hands if they put in the order for me. My dad liked that idea, but after trying under both my mother's and father's names, Bill Me Later still doesn't want to approve the order. I didn't foresee that possibility. So it looks like it's back to the layaway option. The good news is that there is a vacation time cashout coming up at work in the beginning of December. I will have 130-140 hours to cash out, so that will help. Also, my dad was considering giving me rent credit for the EP600, so that would help pay it off a little quicker, too. Still not the getting-it-right-at-launch that I was hoping for, but not terrible.

I think you are seing something a lot of people will experience over the next year or so. The companies running the financing are having a very hard time getting access to credit themselves.

At least this way when you get the sub, its all yours.

Actually, I think it's a problem with Bill Me Later... I have no idea of yours or your parents' credit, but am basing that opinion on my own experience with it when I ordered my first Axiom system. My credit score is in the top 1% (or so they told me on my last mortgage application), and I still got denied on the Bill Me Later. Don't feel bad, I think their approval logic is not entirely airtight.

\:\) I just need to learn patience. It will all be worth it when it's all paid off, though I really wanted to be able to rub all of your faces in it sooner. Ha ha. Really, though, it's better not to get involved with loan sharks, right? Right.

All right, I figured out that I can have the subwoofers paid off on February 9th, no problem. That doesn't even take into account the PTO cashout, though. With that, I'm looking at maybe December 29th. And if my dad is willing to give me rent credit for my EP600, I could potentially have it paid off on December 15th. Here's hoping that all works out. That would be amazing.

Pay it off by the 15th, and you can have 2 EP800s under the tree for Christmas... or really, if you have 2 EP800s you can just skip the tree. You want have any time for distractions at that point!

I was a week off in my calculations. It would be December 22nd. However, now my dad's talking about getting a loan from the bank. I think he really wants my EP600. Ha ha.

You're lucky. My dad's idea of home theater is to turn the TV up real loud like.

Well, my parents did go for the loan, and out of curiosity, they checked their credit scores. My dad had a 797, and my mom had an 806, so yeah, Bill Me Later is weird. Anyway, the subs are ordered. Now I just need to hurry up and pay my parents back since I hate that feeling of owing people. \:\) Almost as much as I hate that feeling of waiting for new toys.

Charles:
I don't want to make you feel guilty or anything, but when did you plan on sending me the subwoofer you promised me in that phone call last night? I mean, no big rush, I just know that you hate having things like this hanging over your head.

And I couldn't hear you too clearly (I know it's weird, but it sounded like you had an entire Costco Muffin stuffed in your face or something!) so I'm not sure if you said you were sending my an EP600 or an EP800.

Either one would be fine by me, just let me know which and when I should plan on being home to receive it.

Oh, and as much as I appreciate you telling me that you'll step aside to let me date Regina Spektor, YOU go ahead. Really. I know you really like her, so I wouldn't want to interfere with that.

We really ARE best buds like you said last night! Thanks again for the sub!

Thanks!
