Has anyone here ever rented out their machines before?
So I've had my collection for a while now and lately I found myself loaning out a machine or two to various of mine temporarily for various uses. For a couple years now, I've had a custom 60-in-1 that I've built as a sort of " loaner" machine. I've let it be used by friends and other people For everything from hookah bars, to nightclubs, And even anime conventions.
At an upcoming convention run by a friend of mine, I've agreed to let him borrow it along with my asteroids cocktail and a mega touch machine. They agreed to cover all the costs of transportation, some maintenance, And even a insurance in the event of damage.
This is starting to gain some traction now and I'm honestly considering the prospect of starting to actually rent some of my machines out for money.
However, I have no idea what would be an appropriate price for this sort of thing. I'm not trying to dive into a full business quite right now, but it feels like I've got opportunity here. So I want to ask you guys. Have any of you ever rented out machines before?
If so do you charge like per machine? How much per day?
What sort of considerations should I have in the price? Obviously transport but what about things like damage deposits?
(Also apologies to any mods if this is not the appropriate place in the forum to post a question like this, I saw the pricing place but I'm not sure if this quite was under that category)
