Default Netflix For Toys! Pretty Cool Idea!!

http://www.toygaroo.com/guest/welcome

You pay a monthy fee and they ship you new toys every other month and then you ship them back after 30 days. I haven't signed up but it could definitely save some of us some time on craigslist.

Neat idea, but I think $25 is too much. And that's the LOWEST plan.

Well, that is an interesting concept. I would much rather have a local place to go browse and pay per item. We have a local lending library for providers, but it would be nice to have more options.

Interesting...I'll be curious to see if it is successful.

It is certainly a nifty concept, although for $25/month I could buy a lot of nifty toys to keep forever, so I'm not really positive of the long-term benefits of such a program.

I agree, I would rather spend 25.00 and have something forever and build my business instead of renting it for a month and not having something to use in the future.

They seem pretty expensive for me. I could just go to my local resale shop or Mom to Mom sale and get cool new toys for my group.

That's it right there. For $25, you could get a TON of stuff at resale stores, garage sales, Salvation Army store, etc. I have found GOOD stuff for 25 cents a piece! Maybe $2 at the very most. $25 could get me probably an average of 25 items. To KEEP!
