Reply To: Is this a good business idea? – Board (etc.) game rental

$2.

That’s about what I thought.

Anyway, it appears that this might be a good way to promote

board gaming, but as for making make money, not so much so.

I could only see it getting up to a few thousand a year on a

local scale, which is the only scale I could work.

(For the naysayers, Board Game eXchange, which I hadn’t known about, is actually doing well on a national scale in both the US and UK.)

(From two different articles:)

Toygaroo was an online toy renting service for children. You would order a toy online and then when you were done playing with the toys you would send it back and get more toys. Think of Toygaroo as the Netflix of play stuff.

There are other toy rental companies out there, so the concept appears workable and it appears there is a demand. If you are a Toygaroo customer looking for similar services, try these sites: Baby Plays or Toyconomy.
