can you rent out R18 films

[Phil]

If not, it seems a good idea.

I could see this being a good business.

No. Some licensed sex shops offer a part exchange on ones you've bought. Bring one back and get your next purchase at half price, but outside London half price may well be more than full-price in Soho.

I would have thought that you could rent out a film for ?5 a go, you would get a lot of business, as if you liked it you could buy it.

I could see people taking out 2 or three a week.

It could be a licence thing though, as you local vid shop buys speaceal films which give them the right to hire.

Does anyone else think that a hire scheme would be a good idea.

[alex]

NO.
I don`t suppose you would copy it and sell to your mates?

[Phil]

I did not think you could copy dvd's.

[watters]

Phil, yes it is a very easy job.

[lala]

my local r18 supplier (pulse and cocktails)does a scheme where you buy your first video(?35) but then can exchange it for ?10 a time

[Phil]

I guess you could copy any film, rent or buy.

But I would think a shop would have a much better turnover by renting out films.

I could see this being good for all. If you like the film, you buy it, if not take it back and rent a new one.

OK some people woll copy the tape, but it happens now/

I could see in the next few years shops renting out folms, lets face it, as more mail order/internet shops set up woth much lower prices, it would be the best way to do business.

After all, most posts on the net, people seem to be buying from the net for cost reasons.

[flash]

a sex shop up here in edinburgh hires the tapes out for a ?5 a pop is very good they got all the new releases

[Phil]

That seems a good way to do it.

Do they do DVD's as well?
