How did you pay for your Macbooks/iMacs?

[SchneiderMan]

So i was wondering how you guys paid or going to pay for your Macbooks and/or iMacs?
I know that Bill me later is much easier to get then the Juniper visa from apple.
I will be using Billmelater for my mbp purchase soon

EDIT: Cash can also be your Debit Card.

All I can say is, I needed about three bottles of listerine after "paying" for it.

Local paper, but it's not like I can take it out of the office

Forgot to mention that part.

I paid with the Juniper Visa. Though, not to be stupid...I made sure I had plenty of money so that I could be sure to finish paying it off well before the six months of no interest was up. I ended up paying it off like two months before it was up, about 91% of it from working, the other 9% (about $100) was Christmas money from my mom and grandma and stuff.

what i think is best if you want to buy somthing and you have the money for it then just buy it, dont use any credit. no more worries on how to pay back later or paying for a mbp for the rest of your life
not to mention you dont have to pay any intrest ^_^

edit: so right now most of you used cash

I'll be paying with Credit Card simply because there is no apple store anywhere even close to me and I want the education discount and free iPod so Im buying it online. The credit card bill will be paid in full before it's due.

Well, to be fair, there was actually no risk for me, as my mom paid it off ahead of time, and I was lucky enough to be able to pay her back like a week later. Best $1000 I've ever spent, I'd say.

Paid with Credit Card; would be kind of weird paying a few thousand in 20s.

I usually buy from the Apple online store, but even if I'm in store I use a credit card rather than cash for the extra protections that grants us under UK law. The cards are paid in full, however, so I guess it's just paying in cash really with a few weeks interest-free.

My credit card companies make a killing off of me. Not

Cash

the only way to buy stuff


i live by the general motto 'if you can't pay for it in cash, you can't afford it'

 

[mikethemovie]

Paypal on Ebay..
Brand new in the box..
1800 euros in Holland, 1200 euro on ebay

 

[astudentis]

i bought my macbook with cash

(but my father got a MacPro + cinema display with his university research money...lucky)

Transferred money from my savings to my checking,on-line with my debit card. Refurbed from the Apple store.

My wife will get a "new" MB as soon as they are released using the same process

Awesome! Way to go my friend!

I used a credit card with a 1% rebate on purchases, bought it from Amazon
and got a $75 rebate and no sales tax. Then I bought a 4 GB memory
upgrade from OWC for $90 when ram prices bottomed last month.

Me i robbed a bank

 

[SchneiderMan]

its so weird to buy something expensive with cash

My friend gave me about $900 in cash to buy him a laptop at circuitcity so i did and when it was time to pay i pulled out this huge roll of money (lol it was all kinds of $ bills) and gave it to the guy and he was looking at me like wtf dude! lol he didnt even know how to count all of that really. i was there for like 15 minutes, and this other guy came and helped him

Internship money ftw!!

Internship money ftw!!

Student loan was the cause of the first Mac I owned.

 

[KHook321]

I used half cash and half a no interest credit card. Not literally cash, but I mean I used cash from my bank account to pay half the cost, not a credit card. lol Obviously I couldn't pay with wads of cash online.
