- Borrow items from friends instead of renting
- Meet new friends that like the same books, cds, dvds, and games that you like
- Start building your own shared collection of media
- Keep track of what you own
- Make lists of stuff you want
- Coordinate activities with friends
Perhaps it’s more like ebay and a library? Is this a space where libraries could get involved???”
Mediachest
I am going to use Mediachest to create my own lending library. I have around 50 books that I would be willing to lend to anyone.
Reading the FAQ at Mediachest the one thing I did not see was any discussion about shipping. I would be willing to lend certain books I have to anyone if they would pay $2 for media mail shipping. It would be nice if the site coordinated these payments.
