Keunholee's television, mac's boardroom table, and sg.cmac's small coastal cruising sailboat have in common that their owners don't use them now but might in the future. These objects take up space their owners could put to better use.

Most of us have some such items lying around: furniture, old boats, bicycles, art, a trailer, television sets,...

Enter the solution of lending to your online neighbours.

An ideal candidate is something you don’t want to get rid of, because you suspect you might want to use it at some time in the future, but that, meanwhile, is cluttering up your home or office, occupying space you could put to better use for other purposes.

Here's how you can deal with such creatures and feel good about it.

Create a sharing interest at SharableThings with the usual photograph of the sharable. (Such sharables are photogenic!)

Append the expression "willing to lend" to the title so that everyone gets the idea.

In order to make clearer the nature of the lending, in the description of your sharing interest indicate the amount of notice you will give to get the sharable back and the amount of notice you want from the borrower before the sharable is returned.

Perhaps we may slowly get used to living without that priceless junk.

[There is now a sample "Lend/Boprrow" agreement in the wiki pages of this site under the heading "Agreements for Lending-Borrowing a Sharable, Giving to Charity, and Supporting the SharableThings Service"].
