I've never borrowed for stereo equipment. I HAVE bought a plasma screen and a laptop on "bill me later", the plasma was paid off before any interest was due. The laptop didn't fair so well, but fortunately it wasn't that expensive a purchase, so the total interest was not that much.
Credit cards have a been a problem in the past, usually for taking cross country trips to visit relatives, those just add up way too fast.
Fortunately I have been paying them off and just have one left, there are some things that are just easier to pay with on a credit card. There are some places that won't take a debit card, it has to be a real credit card.
