It sounds like a great idea in theory--but one which experience has shown me to be a total failure. If there is someone on the board you feel you can trust, and there are some, then have at it. But otherwise, sadly my experience with people I know on an only acquaintence basis--even those who I come in personal contact with-- when it comes to loaning anything out has been a litany of woe.
I certainly admire your intention--my advice however is don't loan anything out which you feel you really need to have back. I have found the frustration and irritation is simply not worth it, let alone the cost of having to buy something a second time.
Frankly I really don't think it will catch on. If a person has to mail postage and a deposit I can't see the advantage over simply renting it. It is simply too cumbersome.
