Civic-Eg should invest in the actual, professional fender rolling tool.

Purchase for $300 and rent out to members for $15/4 days. Renter gives a deposit of $300 (sent through pay-pal or certified cheque). Teal sends renter the tool along with a return delivery slip for when the renter is finished.

When renter is finished, he/she returns the tool to Teal with the pre-printed return label (postage paid). Teal then refunds renter the deposit (minus shipping charges and $15).

This way, individuals could use the tool for $15 plus maybe $40 in shipping both ways? Once Teal has rented it to 20 people he has his money back, and members on the site could also let their (TRUSTED) friends use it for a charge as well, and make some of their money back that way.

I've seen websites of people who do this and charge even more for people to rent. Why not make some profit and also provide a much needed service to your posters Teal? I think it's a can't-fail idea.

- Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:47 pm #53204 I've googled it too, I've seen two websites, and I know for sure that one isn't accepting any more renters right now as the list is too long.

I'm quite certain the other website has a waiting list of at least a few months.

Just thought it might be something Civic-EG and its members would be interested in.

You may want to consider splitting the cost with a couple of friends and all roll your fenders for cheap w/o using a bat :thumb:
