You have to admit, there are several DVDs in your collection that you might watch twice–if that. And there just might be a time when you need that really obscure video that Blockbuster, Amazon, Netflix, Hollywood Video just ain’t got. The Fools have been enthusiastically tracking this little start-up out of San Diego that helps you share the wealth. And damn if it might even work. We couldn’t figure out how until now, sooooo here it is (drumroll please)…

iLetYou (www.iletyou.com) finally launched the public beta of its open online rental community this week, creating the first rental platform where users can instantly start their own online rental store for DVDs and Games, as well as rent a wide range of titles from other stores in the iLetYou community.

iLetYou allows any video store, entrepreneur or individual with a collection of DVDs and Games to start their own personalized online rental store in a matter of minutes. iLetYou charges no upfront or monthly fees to instantly create an online rental business with unlimited items for rent, partnering with stores on a strictly revenue share basis.

Users can quickly browse the available inventory of DVDs and Games, rent from a store of their choice within minutes, and receive their items in the mail. Users also benefit from complete transparency on the availability of a particular DVD or Game, multiple rental options, and store ratings and feedback, delivering a rich user experience.

"Our goal is to unlock the diverse and eclectic inventory of DVDs and Games owned by independent video stores and individuals, enable new rental businesses, and create a rich online rental community. iLetYou gives the power to the users and truly changes the way people rent," said Rodger Visitacion, Co-founder and CEO.

Heck, we just hope it allows the world to find absolutely any video imagineable, no matter how obscure.
