Summer Rental

Zilok Marketplace

Everyone will tell you it’s a buyer’s market these days. But Zilok knows ain’t nothing going on but the rent.

Which is why everything on the new online marketplace is available to let. Type in your location, and the site will list all items with price, condition, and available dates in your area.

Taking on a home improvement project? Save coin by renting a set of power tools in your nabe. Want to start a jazz band? Borrow someone’s high-school clarinet for a nominal fee. On the flip side, turn a small profit on goods collecting dust in the garage (Super 8 cameras, size-zero designer dresses). The best part: You might actually get to know your neighbors.

Both professional rental companies and regular folks can post and manage listings. All you have to do is set up an account. And watch the cash roll in.

We’ll buy that.
