Why not sell it?

Definitely another option. I do love the mac though and kind of want to keep it. Im happy to put it on the line for a while, as a loan, as I know I can pay it back. I do have another laptop to use which has an i7 process inside and I plan to use this one whilst the mac is MIA.

Thing about shelving it as collateral, will it be worth anything say if you defaulted halfway into the loan?

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this: 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I only plan for a short term loan. 1-2 months max. I doubt the mac will not be worth anything if I were to default. Smiley


If it helps I am looking for a loan of approx $1700 and the list price of this mac new is £1350 which is $1800.

That actually hurts you.  You could default, and it would be like you sold this laptop for cash - win win for you.  I doubt anyone could get $1700 from a used laptop.

If you are looking for a loan of $1700, provide collateral worth at least $2,500.  That way you have incentive to repay the loan, and not just walk away.

$1200 brand new. Most used ones on eBay are $600.

With this as collateral, I (personally) would only loan about $300 in Bitcoins...

other crucial question is, are you loaning in dollar/euro or btc? Say I lend you 30 BTC, will you be paying back 30+ interest if BTC goes to $10 or to $100, or will you be paying the dollar equivalent? The laptops price will  be in dollar, so if the BTC price would collapse, your lender might be enticed to keep it. if the price goes through the roof, then you might want to forget about the laptop. And even if you'd want to keep your word, you might have a hard time paying back $3000.

Makes no sense to loan to you then.

Prices keep going up - you get all the profit and lender gets all the risk.   Undecided

Never mind. I think I will delete this thread. I have one potential offer with a bank transfer and will see how that pans out.



Oh and yh, keep dreaming that BTC is gonna keep soaring as it has been. Simple economics.

I lol'd at your American attitude and how you think the world revolves around the USD.

Here in the EU, goods are generally much more expensive. Check the UK amazon alternative and get back to me.. Wink

Maybe you should have asked for a loan in Euro then?  Your title indicates USD.
