    Ive been asked about rentals and dont think its a good idea during a pandemic. If a coil stop or wire comes off and you are not able to service in a timely manner clients will expect a discount or not pay at all. Some people may have desperate times and could sell the game to pay bills. Good luck in calling the police for this during these times were in as they have bigger fish to fry. If you drop off a game and get Covid/fever a few days later are you suppose to call your clients and let them know? Vice versa? What about arranging pick up if a family member is sick for 14+ days. Do they get charged for that time if youre unable to pick up?Vice versa? The amount of plays could be through the roof. I did a call on a dormant f14 set to 5 balls a game and it had 2K plays in 3 weeks.

    The next risk is injury to the movers. Moving games from one bar to another no stairs is fairly easy. Going in private homes , stairs, turns etc can be risky. Not the best time to visit the ER.

    I applaud the people for doing this as its a nice gesture to promote the hobby and help people. For me personally, Its not worth the risk.
