Rentoid blog

Since we had our on line live chat, many rentoid members have asked for us to run a forum where members can chat meet etc….

We’ve a better idea. The Rentoid Coffee Session. We’ll be having our first one on Tuesday August 5th from 7am until 9.30am (details below). First in Melb (where we are) - then other cities.

Where & when

Journal: Tuesday August 5th. 7am - 9.30am.
253 Flinders Lane
Melbourne
9650 4399

No rules, just idea exchange and a good chat about the site (life?) and how we can improve it.

We just think that catching up and hosting a coffee session is more ‘human’. All the rentoid boys will be there and espresso (or whatever coffee you prefer) will be on us. Just let us know in the comments you’ll be there and or tell us your rentoid ‘username’ when you get there for your coffee.

Tell your friends. Rentoid team.

Just a quick reminder that rentoid is RENTOID.COM - not rentoid.com.au

Although both of them are bone fide rentoid & rentoid kind of works on the .com.au - it’s really set up as a .com website. We are currently in the process of redirecting our .com.au website to the actual parent site….yeh, yeh we know we should have done this much earlier….. but in the interim if you are having any trouble with the site…. make sure you’re going through the .com portal.

It would also be cool if you could spread the word for us.

Cheers, Luke & rentoid team.

No, not the Kirk Cameron type, but the type when when a website starts to get more traffic than it can handle…

We know rentoid is very slow & crashing at times. This sucks and it is our fault. What we can tell you is that we are in the middle of upgrading all our computer systems at the moment and there shouldn’t be any issues on the site by mid week.

If you have issues please contact us for help using the rentoid contact page linked by clicking here. And speak to a real living breathing person. Cheers, rentoid team.

OK peoples… here it goes….

Hi. My name is Orange Girl. For those of you who tuned into the guys from rentoid on tuesday night (You can watch it again by click on that link behind this sentence), you will probably remember me. I am orangegirl. Well it appears in classic web 2.0 mode, I am now helping rentoid as blogger for this great site and I can’t wait to get started.

The whole concept of renting the stuff you have in your shed gathering dust is just great. If you’re like me and cant get rid of your items because you’re a hoarder, then this is the perfect way to earn some spare cash and even better, make new friends. Everything from motorbikes, dvd’s, garden stuff, pet stuff, baby items, and even your services can be listed and rented.

You can list everything ( EXCEPT HUMMERS). The only real restrictions for listing items are that it must be legal, but I’m adding moral as well - I’m sure the rentoid team won’t mind!

Cheers, Orange Girl.

To save you from clicking around, here’s a Youtube video of the rentoid feature from A Current Affair last night.  Watch it right below:

Hey people, we are working furiously on getting on a new and improved server which can cope with the zillions of new members we’ve been getting over the past couple of days.

So - we are sorry for being a bunch of Doofus’s (is there such a word?) and not having done this sooner.

Also - we’ve had some people saying they are having trouble joining rentoid.com here’s a few tips:

1. Ensure you choose your country (eg Australia) first.
2. Then a drop down menu of states should appear - to choose your state from
3. Also avoid auto detail fillers which we for some reason are having issues with.

If you have any other issues contact us and we’ll walk you through it over the phone. Again, these issues are our fault and our team are working on them as we write this.

One of the rentoid crew took these crazy photos of the art you can find around the Melbourne CBD streets and alley ways. Kudos to the artisans of our proud city ‘Melbourne’.
