Really good point. I have often wandered the corridors in research labs seeing equipment just lying there collecting dust. I suspect that there will be issues around selling stuff but it is something that we are definitely looking into. Once you have an engaged user base there are a few directions we could take this in.

Yeah it might be tricky to sell equipment, although maybe between labs at the same institution might work. An interesting alternative might be "AirBnb" for lab equipment - renting out the unused time.

// I'd think it would go more like renting a lab with the right equipment, though that might be even harder to organise politically. Perhaps you could usher in a new era of cross-lab cooperation and scientific misciblity ...
