Question

What's up with that place called Aaron's? Is it a rent to own place or what? Are the prices reasonable?

Answer 1

Yes, it is a rent/lease to own place.  I prefer them over the other leading companies.  As for reasonable prices, their payment plans are reasonable, if you pay monthly rather than every two weeks the total you pay is lower.  Also, if you do lease an item remember that when it gets down to a reasonable amount it's best to buy it out rather than let it go to the last payment, you can save several hundred dollars this way.  I would not buy an LCD TV or anything like that, the prices are triple what you would pay to just go buy one but for some of the furniture they have good deals, especially if you purchase one that has been used a few months and returned but is in great shape.  Remember to take advantage of their fixing broken items on lease too, they do it for no extra charge because there is already a small Aarons fee in your payment for it regardless of wether you use it or not.

Answer 2

Yes...it is rent to own.

Their prices are decent, we have gotten a few things from them, but remember when you buy things like that, you end up paying more for them than you would if you would just do it straight out.

Answer 3

I am a General Manager for an Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership. We are a lease-to-own business. You can own anything in as little as 12 months, and we have a low price guarantee. Our 73" Mitsubishi is priced lower than Best Buy's!!

Before I became an employee, I believed they were a rip-off! After I started working there, I realized how much they actually do for the customer. We ALWAYS tell you upfront all fees. We don't hide anything. It's actually pretty neat. Come in for a visit.  And, for the most part, we're less expensive than financing it on a credit card.

p.s. If you go to the website, you can print off a coupon. :o)

Answer 4

We have those here in Nebraska and yes they are a rent-to-own place.  Wouldn't recommend any of those places though, they are all high interest and not worth the extra money
