Consumers Need to Look to Rent to Own Stores for the Best Used Home Products to Save Money During Tough Economic Times

AUSTIN, TX, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
During these tough economic times, consumers can save money on home
electronics, appliances, computers and furniture through the best "used"
deals at their local rent to own store. Rent to own industry statistics
show that 70% rent to own customers use rent to own for short-term needs.
As a result, returned home furnishings are brand name, refurbished and
with short-term use that can offer the best used deals for home products
in great condition.

Most rent to own customers desire brand new home furnishings, therefore,
to make room for new merchandise, the rent to own store must move used
products quickly. Once again, rent to own offers great deals on used
household goods to save money during the uncertain economy.

Many consumer groups, such as Consumer Action, advise consumers to
"consider buying second-hand" for their household products. Consumers need
to look to rent to own stores for the best used deals through their
sidewalk sales, inventory sales or by visiting your local rent to own
store.

"Not only does rent to own offer the most flexible payment transaction in
the market, they also offer the extra option of purchasing previously
rented household items at greatly reduced prices," states national
consumer behavior analyst Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research
Group. "Rent to own stores are constantly needing to move used products
off the showroom floor to showcase new household products. The fact that
many rent to own stores are overstocked and need to quickly sell used
merchandise means the customer can take advantage of purchasing used home
furnishings at bargain prices that are still in great condition."

The Association of Progressive Rental Organizations (APRO) has spent
nearly 30 years helping improve rent to own industry to become one of the
most vibrant consumer industries in America. For more information on rent
