Do you let your friends/family borrow your steelbooks?

[Sir Hilary Bray]

The only person who I'll let borrow my steelbooks, is my best friend, simply because I am 100% confident that if he damaged them, he'd replace them, even if that means paying crazy Ebay prices.


Aside from that, I'll just let anyone else borrow the disc, I'll just stick it in a CD case or something.

I learned as a child (with the biggest VHS Collection out
of my friends) that you never lend movies. I stick to that. Made a few
exceptions with my DVD collection, and never saw them again or it took
a year before I got it back.

Now that I have over 100+ Steelbooks and a serious BD collection I completely
do not believe in lending. However, I like to own lots of BDs to entertain so my main
rule is, "If you want to watch it, just come over and watch it with me."

Too harsh? I don't think so.

No not too harsh. I just lend mine to family, but not in Steelbook, I put the movie in a separate DVD case or some other. Then I would not get it back for months

I'd lend to my dad and 3/4 brothers. Non-family do not take care of your items or even care to return them. I won't lend to them again. Disappointing really.

Even if I could exchange one steelbook for another for a little while I wouldn't,
I'd be too worried about my steelbook and would also worry about the one i'm borrowing.
Not worth the hassle just borrow discs..

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Lend out my steels??? No chance, I'd be worried about my babies getting damaged! I couldn't put either of us through that!

Disc only!

No way! Not even the disc itself... But I always say to them that they are welcome to watch them in the house...

I dont even lend normal amarays to friends or family - not since one came back smelling of cat piss!
