My general guidelines for loaning things covers all departments. It doesn't matter if it's audio gear, a car, tools, money, or whatever else.
I loan all things with the upfront mindset that I will not get it back, period. So based on this, I sort of build credit lines when it comes to loaning things out.
I will never loan something that I cannot afford to not be returned. Ever! I also will not loan out something, to a person for the first time, that is very valuable to me. I will start small and determine a person's integrity. If you establish "good credit" with me then I will become more willing to lend bigger and better things.
