We did think about renting it for a minute. But we are planning on living together for 2 years. I figured two years of rent would be a lot and the price of the tv would fall a lot so one of us could just win it at the end.

But you're right. Stuff might happen and we might not live together for 2 years. Also we wouldn't pay for it during the 13 week summer and maybe get a better tv in year 2. Does anyone know a general price/month it would be to rent a tv and a good place? I'm checking rent-a-center.

I'm only asking because my buddies and I had this same conversation when we were in college. We ended up sticking with a decent but not great TV that one of the guys had already because while none of us could afford anything great alone at the time we did think that we wanted to split the cost.

We figured that by the time the 2 years was up none of us would want to buy the used set when the prices on brand new TVs were taking a nose dive.

Plus, we also knew that there was the risk that something would happen to it (especially since we liked to play hallway tennis and have in-home run derbies).
