I had this idea back in 2009. I'm willing to joint venture with someone who can carry invested money.
Basically I would do all the heavy work. Create the site, do the inventory, get the games, mail them out and deal with the subscribers.
What you as an investor do is pay me a small sum of start up money through paypal.
What I estimate I need in cash flow is
The web-domain
Web hosting
Web advertising
Support cash while I work on getting the site set up
This would sum up to 4 figures of start up money. And I calculated at the bone minimal.
I want 51% straight up of stake in the company. I can work with multiple investors but the remaining stakes will be split between investors depending how much cash investment they put in.
I believe that once I receive enough of first round investment it will take me roughly 31 days to get the site up and begin receiving subscribers.
Subscribers would pay $9.95 a month where they would be able to rent retro & new video games that will be delivered to them via mail to their homes in which if they want to rent a new game they will have to mail the one they have back or buy it for a fee. Nearly the same concept that gamefly does to their customers but I can provide a cheaper price since I would be dealing with a much lower overhead making me able to compete with the big boy.

Who am I? I had the original idea of what uber is today back 2003 in which I called Mojo Cabs. The concept was so new people didn't understand what the business was, there for I had a hard time finding drivers and investors. I had to end the venture.
