This sort of "leasing" or "timeshare for things" concept has been getting more and more popular, I remember a company called Bag Borrow or Steal that does this with handbags.<em>jim of Blueprint for Financial Prosperity's last blog post..</em><a href='http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/' rel="nofollow">Some Rights Reserved</a> Very clever!

I would have never thought of doing that, but what a brilliant idea. Wouldn't it be nice to only fork out a small-ish amount but benefit from wearing a $37,000 diamond necklace for fancy events? I guess you just have to hope that you don't all have a fancy schmancy party the same night....if you're too close of friends, all your social events may intersect! You also would have to really trust those people. Holy cow! I would have never thought of doing that, but what a brilliant idea.

I too think it is a great idea to go in on purchasing big ticket items with friends, family, or neighbors for things you do not use regularly. I remember as a kid my parents went in with a few neighbors and bought a snow blower. It is one of those things that is great to have if it snows here....but expensive to buy alone for a just an in case situation!!<em>Miss Mommy's last blog post..</em><a href='http://thethriftymommy.blogspot.com/' rel="nofollow">Still Need School Supplies???</a> Interesting little story…thanks for sharing.

Yard equipment or tools is the first thing that comes to mind- we have a big garden and are in need of a tiller, but would rather borrow or rent it than own one, because it's not something we use that often. Tall ladders, chainsaws, aerators, and other power tools are things I could see sharing with other families.<em>Joanna's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/keepingfeet/~3/RGWsAvtsZY0/sigh.html' rel="nofollow">Technology is Awesome</a> While I’d never do this for a necklace (I don’t wear jewelry), the idea of friends or neighbors going in together on something they each will only use occasionally is a great idea.
