Aarons Rent To Own ripoff over paid for merchandise Wilkesboro North Carolina

WHY anyone would "rent" a computer from one of these places is beyond me. You can get into a basic new computer for around $400 or less. Oh, I know, you can't come up with $400 but you can come up with the $42 or whatever it is, a week. That way you end up paying $1,400 for a $400 computer. But as the OP says, stay away from these places.

tell me where you can get a $400 computer brand new with all the programs an cd burner and 24 , 7 support #s just to mention some of the stuff already in Aarons computers and wow 12 months full term!!! 1 year and you own it not to mention the 90 days same as cash option and wait an early purchase option after you pass the 90 days so 1 year is just a full term option 1 year on payments and where else is this available? im sorry to the first person if indeed the store you purchased from did take the memory out but to say the whole company is bad do to one bad experience sounds a little harsh. i personally just came to Aarons about 6 months ago from another company and let me tell you at least in my region things are 100 times better for not only the employees but the customers as well!! op? dont know this person but they sound very uneducated about Aarons and what they do!

In answer to your question, at any given moment Dell offers a basic computer for around $399-$499. These usually include DVD ROM/CD Burners as they are very inexpensive. The problem is that people who use Rent a Centers have poor credit and therefore cannot buy something online since they don't have credit cards.

So since they absolutely NEED a computer, they get themselves into contracts like this where they pay $1000 more. Oh and my last Dell I bought cost me $799 (including a 25% off coupon online) and I had upgraded every option to the max limit. So yes, you CAN get a $400-$500 computer

About the poor credit issue. Rent to own is not just for those with poor credit. I have done business with Aaron's and I absolutely love the customer service that I have gotten from them. Aaron's and Dell have a great program in place for those who do not qualify for their credit card. They simply have all the information sent to Aaron's, they then call the closest store to the consumer and have them set up the account with Aaron's. Everything is disclosed up front as far as the pricing, what comes with the computer. All of that with the Dell tech on the line (basically a 3 way call). It is a very helpfull tool for those with not so great credit.
