These guys are Airbnb-like in another way too: as with Airbnb, I initially thought this was a bad idea. What changed my mind was when I emailed all the YC alumni to recruit users for the closed beta, and large numbers of them immediately and enthusiastically signed up.

There is clearly something to the "sharing economy" that everyone is talking about. There will be glitches along the way, but I'm pretty sure this idea is here to stay. Considering the value of the assets involved, it could be the big economic story of this decade.
