There used to be a place in town that rented out bays with lifts for $75/day, and you could leave stuff overnight. They even supplied things like trans jacks, and compressed air hookup. Sadly they went out of business.
I agree with you - the fellow who bought my lift I now "rent" from time to time and either buy him dinner or give him some parts, etc. Works out great ....

Used to live on Long Island and there were some places you could rent a lift from - it was in Farmingdale I believe and I used it a couple times. Great idea but insurance today would probably make it impossible and not profitable/affordable ....
