Timed Item Loans

Who has been scammed by people that ask to 'borrow' your clothing? Who here never got their items back?
Well Qbees, you're in luck, how about a system that allows you to lend stuff for a certain amount of time? After the time runs up, that item will automatically return to your inventory. This could also be used to sell temporary clothing items.For example, you want a pair of bunny pjs but don't have the cubits, just buy a pair that lasts a week! the costs are lowered and you get to try out the clothing item.
This feature could cause a lot of confusion but it could be a nice addition.
Some ideas that have been developed:
*I was thinking like Charm has a pair of dark angel wings, she loans it to Freddie for 100c - 2 hours, then the wings automatically go back to Charm's inventory and Charm keeps the cubits. The prices can be really cheap since it goes back to your inventory so everyone can try out a rare item without spending 500k cubits.**There will be restrictions about selling the items or trading them, an example would be like the starter realm deeds; you can't drop them, or trade them. There can also be a label on the item to show that they are item loans.*
Thank you for reading :D
Helles: Rent Block
#Elfie: Like a real rent where someone pays for the loan and if in a set amount of time the money/item is not given back, the money is kept by the player
If you have any questions, ask in the comments or read the existing comments for information :3
P.S. This was also >Soul Mixer<'s idea

*Place your item
*Set amount of cubics per day
*wait for a customer
Cause if they borrow your 500 Stone ores and they use 250 of it, then they will have 250 Stone Ores left, so they can't give the exact amount to you?!
Scammer: I'll sell this Krampus to you for 400k
Player: Deal!
Scammer: *Puts Krampus in reg but set it to be lended for a second*
Player: Yay! ----- Where did my Krampus go?
Yes it could be avoided by adding a section that says if it is being bought or not, but just like how players used to scam with pjs not everyone triple checks.
