Renting Handbags

So, I'm surfing around today and an ad catches my eye. Bag Borrow or Steal.com. Handbag rentals. How exactly does that work? Do you fill out a form when you get the bag outlining the existing damage and when you return it does a rental agent scan it and check for additional damange? Do you get weekday or weekend rates? Are there different classes or upgrades available? What if the bag you reserved hasn't been returned? Are you elligible for a simiular make and model or are you automatically given a better model no additional charge?

Admittedly, I have not gone to the site to see if they answer all my burning questions. I'm sure that they do. And, if I decided to actually check out the site, I'd probably be impressed with what they have and do there. Seriously, it's a weird concept. Renting a handbag. That's so weird! I'm the first to admit, I love handbags. They are right up there with shoes for me. And, like most women, that's big. I have many handbags in my hobbit closet, hanging out in their protective bags, not getting dusty, waiting for me to choose them again to see the light of day. My current favorite is a pink Coach. It's a signature bag. I love it. I love pink and I love Coach so it is a win win for me. But, even with all that love, I am pretty darn mean to my little bag. I cram stuff into it, I toss in on to the floor in my car, I dump in on the floor in the house, I carry *gasp* granola bars in it. I am not nice to it. And, my guess is a good many handbag users are not nice to their bags either. So, why would you want to rent a bag that someone else has already not been nice to? And, why would they want to rent a bag that I had not been nice to? That is what I just don't understand. I'm sure there is something reassuring on the website like, all the bags are lovingly inspected and cleaned, and whatevered. But, really, I just don't see how borrowing a bag, inspected or not, is a good idea.

Seriously, I'm kind of befuddled by how and why this service exists. I guess I'm glad that it does. Because, if it didn't I wouldn't have had anything to say tonight.
