text: why do we have to pay double even triple for furniture, electronics, etc... at those renting stores? shouldn't that be illegal? yes.. it should be illegal, but as long as there are people willing to pay the high prices they'll stay in business.. it's a total screw job..   going to one of those place is about as smart as going to one of those check cashing places or a pay day loan place.. where you get the money now then they cash your check after you get paid.. rip off
