And you most certainly can compare the two: They both entail renting a piece of equipment that costs between 70 and more than a hundred thousand dollars for a short term.
Wait, what? Your previous post says "people with multi million dollar yachts do this all of the time."
Move the goalposts if you want, I stand by my assertion that Cousin Eddie isn't renting a multimillion dollar boat. But do you really think that because YOU never met Cousin Eddie that he doesn't exist, and he never rents anything? People who rent things out as a business would beg to differ.
Well to just go back and parse out every phrase...yes if you take me out of context you have a point. But that wasn't the context.
In my original "multi Milllion" statement I was referring to the top end of that market to make the point that...wait for it ....EVEN Multi Million Dollar yachts are rented. No one moved the goal posts.
In my recent response I was comparing like priced boats and RV's...
I thought that was obvious.
Apparently I was wrong and for that I apologize and will spell it all out more succinctly next time.
And I never said that this "Cousin Eddie" did not exist. A more careful reading will show that I said that all of the folks I HAD MET in more than 4 years out here and all over the country from Alaska to MD were careful and took their responsibility seriously.
In any business, and that it what it is when you rent out or charter something, there is risk, and there is insurance and deposits to mitigate those risks. The Unit being rented is a "tool"... for use. It will wear. My point is simply it is a viable endeavor despite your nay-saying.
