Has anyone heard or used these, I stumbled across the site earlier.
Basically instead of selling your unwanted items you post it on there and hire them out to people.
I have a number of items that are sat around the house/shed that are just collecting dust.
And ideas, thoughts, comments, experience happily received.
My only two initial thoughts were
1/ The site seems relatively new and therefore the traffic and ultimately the revenue may not be that great.
2/ The risk of your items being nicked, damaged etc etc. They set up a deposit scheme but how easily would it be enforced.
