.FAQs
Q – Why do you call it, “Hard To Find Props”? A – When I started this, I thought I would just rent the stuff I owned that was “hard to find” (a stereographoscope, great grandma’s ear trumpet, a photographer’s birdie – as in “watch the birdie” (it was an actual photographer’s tool, etc.) Then, I figured I should have a larger assortment of items to attract more customers, so I expanded. I know many of my items can be found at the other houses, but I do have unique items the others don’t carry.
Q - How can you rent for such low prices?
A - My overhead is MUCH lower. Also, at this time, I have just 1 employee – me! Occasionally, I get help from part-time assistants.
Q- How much can I save?
A – If I have the item you need, you’ll probably save from 25% – 70% on it’s rental, and it will usually be in better condition than other houses supply.
Q - How can you compete with the big prop warehouses?
A - I can’t and I never will. But, keeping a smaller inventory allows for lower rental costs.
Q – Are your props practical (working)?
A – Almost every item is working like it was when it was manufactured. There are a few exceptions and that is detailed in each items description. I use the terms “functional”, “fully functional” or I describe, specifically, what the item may, or may not do.
Q – Will you be adding items to the site?
A – Yes! I still own plenty more to add and I’m ALWAYS looking for more. I'm at approximately 500 items and still growing.
Q- Do you know what you’re doing in this business?
A – I’m figuring it out as I go. Feel free to offer advice.
Q- Can I get a closer look at an item? A – You can arrange to see almost any item by contacting me. You can also, right click on the smaller pictures, on each page, then select “Open Link in New Tab”. Holding your curser over the larger picture on a page will also show you a magnified image. But, the best way is right clicking on the thumbnail pictures.
Q - Can I change or modify an item I have rented?
A – You may ask, but the answer is most likely, No! There may be some exceptions, so feel free to ask.
Q- Do customers really ask the questions on this page? A - No! But, I’ll bet they/you are wondering about some of these things.
