stereo amps and preamps for rent,what do you think


hi my fellow audiogoners i am thinking of starting a very interesting new business.it will set the audio world on fire.i want to start a renting audio equintment.now this will include amps preamps dacs and cd player.but before i start investing i would like your input.do you think it is a good idea and will you want to rent stereo gear.it seems logical to me because i buy quite a bit of stuff and it does not suit my needs.i think a lot of you would agree.also you get to see if the piece is right for you.

well they it would work is i would buy stereophile recomended components class a and b.rent the units for 1 week intervals.if you want it for a month that would be 4 rental intervals.i would take special reguest only if the unit is highly recomended. i would put out a list of what is avalible for rent.the problem would be to figure out a rental price for a particular unit.
well it is a idea and i appreciate the feedback.i guess i am looking at my own interest here.i would love to rent a mac tube and see how it sounds in my system.you guys know how it goes.you see something on audiogon you would really like to buy and when you get it in your system low and behold--"it sucks"this happend to me several times.next thing i am selling the piece back audiogon and hope to get close to what you paid for it.i like the figures rayd has gave(i could live with those numbers).also to protect from damage the person will have to have a credit to cover the unit.when it comes back to me with no problem we would then release the credit.ok guys jump on this thread.
narrod you are right i am seeing the light on this one.just because i would like the chance to rent i can now see it is not profitable.oh well.this is why i mention the idea here on audiogon.you get professional results from the mwmbers.thanks all for the input.
