Spring Compressor Purchased - Will be renting

Hey fellow 208'ers. I just purchased one of the Klann-style spring compressors on eBay. I'm pretty sure it works on the w208's and many other models. I plan to keep the tool and rent it to reputable forum members upon request. I'll charge a deposit and refund most of the deposit on receipt of the tool. It will probably be $40 or less to rent it for 10 days (to be determined for sure). Let me know what you guys think about that rate. I think it's a fair price. Also, let me know if you'll be interested in renting. I should have it by next week and it should be available for rent early in June.

It works for local renting, but I don't think it works if it requires shipping (it would be too complicated!) just a thought

thats more than fair, as for shipping if someone wants to use it than they can just pay shipping both ways.

Yeah, just for the record, i am NOT trying to rip anyone off or make big bucks off this thing. Shipping is 10-15 each way, so I'll probably just do $45 and I'll pay for shipping out, and then the renter pays shipping back. That will make a total of about $60 invested. That should be a pretty good opportunity. Of course, it will be more than $45 initially and then I'll refund the rest (in case someone dishonest decides not to send it back).
