Uni Project to help students: student-to-student item renting.

I’m a student and working on a uni project and wanted actual student opinions, not LinkedIn people

The idea: a student-only platform (verify with .ac.uk) where you can rent out stuff you already own to other students like cameras, speakers, ring light, suitcase, toolkit, steamer etc. and get paid after it’s returned. Meet on campus and accommodations reception so it’s not sketchy.

I want to know if this is actually something students would use or if I’m overestimating how much people trust each other lol.

The idea here is to help student make an extra incom with stuff they already own, as a student with bad budgeting an extra £50 a week would be relieving.

I would like also to share some questions if you don't mind

1. Would you rent your stuff out if it was student-only + public meetup?
2. What would you be most worried about? (damage / no one books / people being late?)
3. What’s the first thing you’d list?
4. Would you borrow instead of buying for 1 week?

If this breaks rules, mods can delete just trying to get a second opinion.
