There was a time not very long ago. That I would loan a machine out to anyone that I knew. And for years I had no problems doing so. But then I had a few unfortunate incidents that hppened that were unentintional but soured me on pin swapping. I would loan a game even if the other party had nothing to swap. I just feel if you are comfortable go for it. But bad things could happen. I just don't think I would be comfortable charging.
