On the EZK pretty well everything a tester will show, and in real time...

On the LH pretty much everything, you just need to be able to analyse what you are seeing.

No worries... I think this is a healthy discussion, but I think you could do a quick estimation of your demand curve with a separate poll.

As I see this poll, it looks like (assuming people actually rented the thing) I would maximize revenue at $100 per weekly rental. I thought $200 would be the sweet spot, but at $200 I would only get 7 rentals = $1,400. At $150 I would get 11 rentals which would yield $1,650. At $100, I might get 20 rentals = $2,000. It's still shy of the area I'd need to be at to make this economically feasible, but it's interesting how lowering one's price can acctually increase your overall revenue. Econ 101.

OK Andrew, I expect there are more people out there who would add to your final total who haven't seen the thread or voted.

The one factor is whether you cost your time into this, and deduct whatever you think that is worth from your "profit".
