However what really interests me are private syndicates, currently these are usually for boats, aircraft and horses. But as the idea grows I hope people will look for like-minded partners to share a wider range of items that are closer to home: cars, tools, equipment (lawnmowers and sewing machines), jewellery, even dogs!

You can share in many ways, joint ownership and regular or fractional rental (everyone uses the lawnmower once a week). It just requires a little imagination and careful discussion at the beginning, together with a written contract is the items are high in value.

not sure about pets! but a BBQ, playstation or fondue set… drills are useful but how often..? and how boring, honestly. there might be an opportunity for new busiensses to emerge it seems.

seems everyone is talking about renting this week. maybe i can rent my stuff and make some cash at last…
