P2P renting of hi-fi and hi-end audio - what do you think?

Hi everyone. Just as an idea - what would you say to P2P renting of hi-fi & hi-end audio? Sounds interesting to me, as many of audio geeks (like my friends) have devices they won't use but won't part with either. Lending them for some cash and renting from others something that you have never tried / tested before... Might you be interested? Any pros and cons? Any ideas welcome! Thanks.

Add to my list...
- if you have a popular item - there could be a lineup of renters.
---- how long do you rent for in that case?
- what happens if someone does not return it?

I think I prefer to listen to music rather than spending my free time keeping tabs on who's got my gear.

But I do see the appeal - as Jayant says
The premise is that this is an extension of the in-home audition.
Perhaps Audiogon should start another section - for renters?

Regards....

It will never work. There are just too many a**holes out there. I just got scammed on another site and lost $400 to a scumbag. I believe there are more honest people then there are scammers, but it only takes a few...
