crickey deskworker- i just found out that Radio Rentals only apply the $1 rent,try buy scheme to certain furniture items, laptops and TV's. they no longer have whitegoods as a rent buy option.
i just did the calculation for a Thorn brand top mount fridge(405 Litres) for rent which is just one of the vast array of Thorn brand products on offer.
brand new, this will cost you $2912 over 4 years and now you have to give the fridge back as well. a year ago , you at least got to keep it for the $1 rent,try, buy scheme. in other words, you are now paying 400% interest over 4 years just to rent.
i think there should be a proper inquiry into all this.
it's bloody well unaustralian.
cheers crazypunter
