This feature is basically an exact copy from the one in Runescape, so if you know what that one is like, this is what I'm describing.

Allow users to lend/be lent 1 item at a time. Items can be lent for a maximum of 24 hours (incrementing by the hour). If you are being lent an item, you cannot sell or trade it (obviously), but you can wear it. It could have a banner that says "Lent" in the upper right/left corner of the picture of it on your profile. People can lend items for free, or for robux. The tax for lending items for robux is 50% (maybe 30%, whatever works). If I am lending an item, either it cannot be traded or sold, or if it can, when the time runs out it goes to the account it was traded/sold to.

This would cut down on scamming, and allow the less-wealthy to feel rich and powerful. Of course, with this release there will likely be many bugs, so I'm not entirely supportive behind this idea myself. I however would like to be able to lend my little brother and other people frigidus without worrying about it being stolen by someone.

Haha, when I'd read this on the thread page - it reminded me of the feature on Runescape.

But yeah, I agree with having this a thing on ROBLOX as well, it'd be great to be able to lend an item to players for a certain amount of time, with reasonable prices for a temporary "loan" or "pawn". But instead of it only being able to be lent with ROBUX; TIX should also be an option.

Yeah, or even being able to be lent for free. There would likely be a few starting glitches with this, but I want it to happen.

Interesting idea, although I don't think it would translate very well into the Roblox community. One problem I see with this idea is the possibility of someone cornering the market with very cheap rental hats. This would decrease the sales of popular hats, because if a person can lend it for cheaper and not have to commit to it, there wont be as much demand. That means people won't buy Robux for money to get that super-cool hat, and instead rent it for a much, much cheaper price. Again, Interesting, but because of that I cannot support.

I'm really 50/50 with this... But it's a real good idea.

@ooo
I agree, it could have some repercussions. Fortunately, it would slow down the inflation rate of items over 100k (they are currently raising at least 5% per week on average, usually in 20% bursts), in addition to giving most robloxians access to hats they wouldn't normally be able to get.
