    Rent me a game(s). I'll sign a contract if necessary and pay you monthly for the game(s)! Just take a look at my wishlist!

    I’ve often wished I could rent a pin!

    #3 6 years ago

    Are you going to pay shipping to and from?

    #4 6 years ago

    Monthly?!? That's a hell of a long for you to hang onto a pin, @waspinat0r.

    same!

    Quoted from V_piscopo:

    That'd be figured out individually.

    What’s the going rate for a month of a machine?

    -1

    I don't see why not.

    Problem with this is anyone would be dumb to do anything less than six months for a game. Moving is what causes issues for games. On route there is very little wear and tear.

    We also know you can't keep a game for more than a week, let alone a month

    Same as women, don't buy them, rent them.

    my wife is on here so I can't say much to that. Ha!

    I'm down for whatever length of time the contract states. I can keep games for as long as necessary...I've just chosen to find my "type" first!

    Most of pinside has made that joke. Haha

    Why don't you live near me? I just lend em to people for free because I'm out of room!

    Well if you want to make a trip i'll pay for your gas and trouble too!

    You could just move to Las Vegas and get a job at a Casino. Then spend all your free time volunteering and/or playing at the Pinball Hall of Fame.

    That could keep you entertained at least for a few months.

    Not long term, and not nearly as much with a fellow pinhead. Although even with a 6mo. Contract you may have to take your game back the next week. Lol

    What is your expected price point for a rental game?

    That's be more up to the renter. I don't have expectations.

    Lease vs Owning... interesting concept

    #20 6 years ago

    I would lease games at $175/mo 6/mo min w/ a contract and paid shipping.

    I'm game. PM sent

    This thread also applies if you're out of room and just want to store your games somewhere for free and don't mind if I stream them on twitch sometimes. (I'll plug you as the owner and such.) I'll take care of all needed maintenance as well should something pop up.

    Just to point out -- I can provide reference(s).

    I just realized that I way overdo the (s).

    #23 6 years ago

    Wish I lived closer.

    I wish you did too, bud. I wish you did too.
