Got a pile of dvds or games that you've already watched (or played) a million times? Not sure what to do with them? Then check out a cool new website called iLetYou.com
You can quickly and easily set up your own rental store, list your stock, set your prices and rent out your collection.
Implications - This cool business idea is available for absolutely anyone and works like a type of Netflix rental store. You can set up an account that focuses just on your community so that people renting won't be far from home. It is like owning your own personal Blockbuster! If you play your cards right, people will be coming to you instead of a mega retail chain.
