Best Buy gonna start letting custys rent electronics

[JordanWearinThe45]

According to ReCode, Best Buy you will soon be able to rent items like cameras, wearables and audio devices with a featured button on Best Buy's website. A Best Buy spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that drones will not be on offer through the rental service.

Best Buy's website will have a button that sends you to Lumoid's site to manage the actual rental of these items, many of which may be "open box" returns instead of new items. You'll earn about 20 percent of the rental price in Lumoid credits, which can then be applied to a purchase of the rented item. Best Buy gets to breathe new life into items people have already bought and customers get to check out big-ticket items for a low monthly fee.

Best Buy will let you rent gadgets before you purchase them

This is kinda dope

First thought I had was that method Blockbuster Video (remember them? lol) used to do, but this method sounds a lot more useful. It sounds good on paper, but we'll see how it works in practice.

smart move. i wonder if this will change their return policy tho. i know a lot of ppl who buy stuff to use for a day or two then return for a full refund.

I've actually been interested in renting high end cameras for paid video shoots. This is very interesting to me especially since I shop almost exclusive at Best Buy for any electronics and appliances. (I just bought a brand new front loading washing machine from them about 2 weeks ago)
