For a big show would you rent out a room to a collector?

For a big show such as the summer ANA or the January FUN and you were local to that area would you rent out a room in your house to an out of town collector looking for a cheaper place to stay than a hotel? As long as
the person had some references I might consider the idea.

Has anyone done this or heard of anyone doing something like this? Its seems like it might be a good idea
to make a little extra money to spend at a show and help out a fellow collector.

    only for a friend, and then the rent would be free. So I guess the answer is NO

    Is that a new mint error?

    I would let a large portion of the members here stay for free. Others couldn't rent a room with that Dime that TDN just posted. --jerry

    If I considered them a friend the "rent" would be free. If I didn't, I wouldn't want them to know where I live.

    Well said. That said, I doubt that any of my friends would want to sleep on a futon on the floor of the upstairs playroom or on the floor in the basement on an air mattress with with the dog.

    Good answer - there is safety in (relative) anonymity.

    If anybody from out of town wanted to stay at my place they would be welcome and it wouldn't cost them a dime.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    If he or she is a good cook and will do the dishes, laundry, toilets and windows, I'm sure we could make some sort of arrangements.

    Yo Dog, thanks for the invite!!! Can you pick me up at the nearest Greyhound Bus depot too? I be the short, fat, bald headed, toothless homeless looking guy with a backpack on. You know, the typical coin collector looking guy. See you soon.
