    there are a few places that rent games for short term, like events and such. i know pinballz in austin does, not sure if they rent monthly. I feel like i have seen someone local, maybe them, renting games on a monthly basis for the low low price of $400 per month

    Interesting. OP wants to rent $50,000 worth of games out for $250 per month. His earlier thread said he was interested in newer games. Let's say he gets a good deal and gets 15 games, that's $45k per year in rental fees. Maybe after all labor and part expenses he makes a little profit after 2 years. Maybe during year 3 he gets more games and brings in $50k in profit. If he built up his collection to where he could make $75k in profit, he would have to have a couple dozen people in the Denver area willing to pay $250 per month, I don't think that is likely. Not worth it OP, turn back now

    Quoted from V8haha:

    Yes the idea has crossed my mind.
    What price point would you guys rent games for?
    At 5K a game for the titles you would like to rent the rental fee has to be high enough to make it worth while

    I just think that even at $200 you won't have people renting more than 2 months at a time, so a lot of finding new customers, just not feasible with the market. Let me know if you decide to go through with it though, I am a business/retail/e-commerce consultant.
