I to would be very interested in helping out on this (even sounds like we are doing it for the same kind of products Jay).
>From my point I would need to have say a single product, with a particular amount in the inventory (I'm assuming that Satchmo can do this, I will find out today during my testing). I will need to record things like serial no, imei and puk codes for each physical item (again I'm assuming Satchmo can do this). So, basically I think the Rental model needs to link to inventory as opposed to a product.
