Temp Perms ?.?

Is there a combination set of permissions that allows for the rental of objects? I have seen the land rental, but am curious about object rental.

For example you may want to have a party that you want to include big speakers, and I could sell them for L$1,000 or just let you copy them for the weekend for L$50... you get permissions for 72-96 hours, then they would be deactivated and removed(?) from your inventory.

Well, there could be a timer script built in that would delete the item after a set amount of time. But not in the permissions themselves.

Oh, and you cannot remove them from inventory. But if they were rezzed after the "rental time", the script would automatically kill them as soon as they got rezzed.

interesting... it seems that the more i know, the less i know.... I may be back in touch when I get my business plan figured out.

Thanks HH

welcome to life?

I ahve to ask, curiosity has gotten the better of me, why would some one want to rent or more to the point, buy a speaker for 1k? Its just a textured prim.... I sell multi primmed speakers for 150L$... I cant see a market for renting them, speakers in SL do nothing, nor do amplifiers, graphic equalisers etc.. they are just visually comforting items so owners can create the illusion of RL.

Could have a stream attached to the speaker, object as pay per view access metaphor or something.

Other than that, super high quality items could work. Like renting a sim for events kinda thing.

Ditto

Well, speakers are not the actual item.... But working in theatre and show business where we rent almost EVERYTHING, I thought I would use my audio friends as an example (and L$ values that I made up)... Don;t worry, I'm not getting into the audio business.

Rental is not a bad business model, just an interesting one in SL, but my little brain is working on a plan that may just crash and burn, or might just make enough to pay the rent at a kiosk in the mall...HH

Actually, given the nature of SL.. and that timescales are in the region of SL=RLx10, renting anything decreases liability. Land is rented, appartments, houses etc.. so the basis of your model is well founded, providing the product suits the nature of your intended market.
