I want to start a tool library. Why is this idea not more popular?
I didn't want to buy so many tools but my friends don't have them.
So now I have a bunch of tools that I used for one job. They're not really worth the overhead of selling.

@mfashby we were actually talking about trying to do that with our university recently, there are expensive tools that almost never need use that the university has bought repeatedly due to professors not communicating with each other... And of course opening it to the public would be even better!
