> We’ve built an incredibly effective vetting system that has stopped the vast majority of voluntary parting thieves. As a result voluntary parting is extremely rare, .02% or about 1 in 5000

Is it just me or does this seem not rare at all? If you rent your gear 100 times on kitsplit, there is a 2% chance it will be stolen.

If renting a 3,500 USD camera costs 70 USD, the return is 2%, so less voluntary parting rate of 0.02% this is still 1.98%. Or in other words, KitSplit can theoretically cover the risks by taking an additional 1% of the profit earned by the person renting out the camera.

I think it’s hard to summarize accurately. Often you find a regular renter and they’re very reliable. Most of my rentals were repeat vs first time.
