continued from 38) i bet that would be all you need to mail it safely. people would trust the service based on a rating system for users similar to ebay's. what do you guys think? netflix w/o the monthly payments! it would hinge on postage. I wonder if the postage was sold through the site and it was popular if you could recieve discounted rates? maybe im just crazy

On that same note, i believe that a national mail sharing service could exist as a platform for dvd's and games. Maybe an exchange where the entire community lists thier libraries available and then you list what you desire to see or play. Then whenever there is a match when you have what John Doe wants and John has what you want the system alerts you and you can choose to accept. You could even have a pre made print out with postage and slide in into the cover of the item and tape it, i bet

It seems like we all have these collections of games and movies we get little use out of. It would be awesome if someone set up a sharing network in a college community for these things. Some type of exchange. Maybe its free to members, maybe you charge a small amount. It seems like a campus isthe perfect place to create a social network with this type of sharing. People are protective of property so something would have to worked out there. I dk
