This is correct, loan isnt compounding. However interest is never paid 12 times, its paid twice at max by smart people. For example, if I give a $10k loan - I'll pick up $2500 in interest between day 1 and day 31. If it goes to day 32, it goes to another $2500 in interest. If he stops paying interest, I take the item - which I then resell to get my investment and profit back.

People who cant go to a bank and need cash within a few hours do this. I've done this before for a few people who are in tradtionally well paying industries/businesses who just want some extra money on the side.


It's still usury.

If you get REALLY technical.....

I'm buying the item and selling an option to buy said item back. Thats not usury, thats capital gain on investment/option income.

Depends on where he lives and where his business is technically registered. Some states in the US do not have maximum interest rate/usury laws.

He lives in Florida, which does have those laws and even says that his rates of interest make it a felony.

Why is it you all feel the need to call everything I say/do a lie, without any homework whatsoever? This is getting seriously annoying.

That's a 300% interest rate.

So are you.

Past experience + intelligence = you being full of crap

It's axiomatic anymore.

Interesting information PAB. So you are using the For Sale Forum to sell items you obtained illegally? That's definitely against the rules and a bannable offense!

I know. He's tried to impress with his badass loan-sharking self before. It didn't work then, either. But I get to have my fun anyway. :)

This, I laughed at. Good show!

Seriously, I will take their stuff. I'm not a violent person to those who dont deserve it. If I've already got their collateral theres no reason to rub salt in the wound.

buying your buddy a $1 McDonald's Double Cheeseburger and letting him buy you a $1.25 bottle of soda at the Quik-Stop the next day does not count as "loansharking," you incorrigible and compulsive liar. get help, dude.

I'd post proof of said collateral that I've managed to acquire, but regardless of whatever I post I'm still going to have to reply to people like you and my clients derive a certain level of discretion they can't get going to Wells Fargo.

responding to a PAB thread is like when you go to the asian market and they have the little sticks you can use to poke the live crabs. he sort of crawls around and lazily snaps his claws at you while you poke him in the head. the more lively he snaps back, the more likely we are to boil him. :D

25% a month, hahahahhaa

You're an idiot.

What do you mean obtained illegaly? I loaned someone $, took their item as collateral and if/when they dont pay - I own said item. Theres nothing illegal about that. See: pawn shop.
