My partner posted 2 sets of tails on ebay

Kat, why don't you spread the word to the local college kids? I'm sure it's not like people go trolling on eBay for ballroom tails...
 
There's a HUGE amount of difference between a 31" waist and 34". SInce the waist is actually higher than the literal waist, I'm thinking it wouldn't work. Alex has emailed me a couple times (what a nice guy). I've got my fingers crossed... Maybe if the money comes through we could swing it. But spending a few hundred on something that might/might not work..... I'm nervous, lol. :)

Actually I think your best bet customer probably would be an enthusiastic silver or gold dancer on a Boston-area college team, since their comps do permit costumes in those events. If he can wait until fall, taking the suits to some comps up there might be the best bet.
 
If they don't sell we might, but we really need to sell them asap. The intereste on my credit card is growing, it needs to get paid off... New tails are expensive....

Can you apply for a 0% interest rate on transfer balance credit card?
I know paypal is offering those, 0% for 3 months (it could be 6 months).
At least this way, you don't have to pay the extra interest for 3 months, and hopefully this will give you more time to sell the tails.

We love those 0% interest rate credit cards! :wink:
It just takes some time, to "play" the transferring game......but with all the money you save on interest, it's well worth it.
 
Not a bad idea, but it's not safe to give me access to yet another credit card... I just hope he can sell the tails and pay me back soon...

Transfer your balance to the new 0% card and cut up the new card so you won't be able to use it for anything else??!! How does that sound?? i was going to say cancel your old card, but that'd hurt your credit score, so, maybe not.
 
But my current card gives me miles so I don't want to cut it up... So I would need to keep 2.. And that's dangerous
 
Actually, there is something to be said for putting any carried balance on one card, and never buying anything with it but using another card for that. This is because somewhere hidden in the fine print is the detail that payments go to your low-rate transferred balance first, and your high-rate new purchases last. What this means is that you should never buy anything on a card that is carrying a balance. Of course credit cards are far from an ideal way to borrow money in the first place, but options may be limited. It might be safer if the 'use' card is really a debit card, but that means any emergency purchase that has to go on a credit card is going to be the last thing to be paid off at the highest rate on the balance carrying card, so using a 2nd acutal credit card for day to day purchases may be best, provided you treat it like a debit card...
 
cut up the new one then so you won't get to use it other than to pay off the balance. I used to have 5 credit cards but now i only use 1 and use another one as backup (for places that doesn't accept VISA)!
