I'd add a option to "rent & option to buy". It goes both ways: I have a pricey guitar lying around that I haven't used for 2year+, but haven't come around to quite sell it (because I might one day pick it up again, as I used to be very good at it). It could be quite a great thing to rent to young music students (like I used to be) that want a fairly good sounding guitar. Some years down the line having the option to just sell it might be nice for both. The real added value is like the instruments above: you want something for a couple of years, and there's quite a lot of people out there that already own it (and is past year of using it). Although, second-hand shop already covers this usage, by people buying (console, instruments etc) it and using it for the years, and then re-sell it on second-hand. It only covers certain products so you might find a niche, maybe. I'd say the most usefulness in the idea is what I see as a local problem around me: I live in Tokyo right now, for work, so I wont stay here 1-2years+. There's a lot of people like this in Tokyo, it's often called "a transit city" by expats. Furnished apartments here is a thing, but its quite expensive and limited. For someone newly arrived, just renting the furniture might be a useful option. (but I don't quite see who would only rent furniture, since storage is a problem while not being rented) |
