jasonX5:I'm just curios if anyone else has done something similar?? Or what any dive shop owners think?? Thanks for the responses keep em coming.
Does it matter what other business owners think?
Yes, some diveshops allow layaway. However what you are asking for is a no interest loan, and from a business perspective there maybe no advantages to providing that service.
I can not think how additional responses will help your situation unless they come from the owner you want to do business with. Rather then sitting around online waiting for people to respond, why not just go down to the dive shop, and work this out. As you sit at the computer reading our speculation, others maybe purchasing the gear you want right now. It's not going to matter much if your LDS does layaway or not if the gear he is closing out is gone by the time you decided to approach them.
