I'm all for temporary trades, and if I was out of space I'd definitely consider loaning games out - but for the reasons already stated I wouldn't consider renting any games out for cash. Seems too risky to me.
As a potential customer? There are a few games I'd consider renting - harder to find machines, or ones that I think I'd lose more on buying new and selling on than it would cost to rent. Toy Story 4 comes to mind - never going to buy one at £14k and I doubt there are many out there due to the price, but I'd quite like some proper time on it so would rent for the right price. I'm not the most demanding customer so would be happy with maintaining a rented pin but if a board or similar went then I'd expect that to be replaced if I was paying a rental fee.
I'd be happy to store games for others, especially as I currently have more space than machines, and if no money was changing hands would also be happy to pay for anything that went wrong with the games whilst I had them / for Martin at GoPinball to service them if something went wrong I wasn't comfortable fixing myself. Only seems fair.
