What an age we live in!!!!
Has anyone else made use of one of these?

Verily I say unto you Peter, that these devices come in two varieties. One is indeed a vehicle of debt financing. These permit one to acquire ephemera today and repay the money lender later. With due caution you will not have to part with thy firstborn, not the flesh closest to thy heart. The other, while it doth require you to have the monies now, rewardeth thou by not charging usurious interest.
Most merchants will accept either in their pursuit of trade.
Yeah verily, those merchants from across the oceans do indeed prefer these forms of reimbursement.
I have partaken of both of these devices, and have in general found they cause merchandise to be delivered expeditiously. If indeed thou doth present one at the merchants, they will permit you to take immediate possession of the goods.
Here endeth the economics lesson.
