Something Borrowed
Scenario #1: Completely obsessed with Jack Bauer and 24, you have all the DVD sets sitting on our shelf. And they’re collecting dust.
Scenario #2: The ceiling light in your condo is burnt out and no combination of chairs and/or boosts can get you high enough to change it. Do you buy a ladder just for this?
The answer: Borrow Me.
The Calgary-based company connects you with all sorts of inventory available in your area. Whether it’s to borrow, to rent or to purchase items, there’s something for every need. Its creators call it “eBay for borrowing meets Facebook,” where you set up an account and begin adding what you have that you’d like to sell, rent or lend and, in turn, what you want.
Need a raft to float down the river? Rent it for $5. A four-wheel dolly for the move? $4 to rent. Trying to get rid of an old futon? No need to distribute flyers around the university.
We can't wait to get our hands on that sod cutter!
