How Loans Work

The idea is that they get paid back, one way or another.

Our favorite is when someone buys something for node-building, and they decide to buy a bunch of them, which then are used to pay back a previous loan. Not necessarily one-for-one, but of equal value. Of course, a one-to-one return of loaned things is fine, as is hard cash, but by buying in quantity, money is (often) saved on both the quantity as well as on shipping.

If you want to pay it back, take a look at the list of needs below, buy a bunch of something, and give them to whomever loaned you something! Thanks in advance.

Please don't substitute without consulting us first, we have selected these items very carefully.
