bike, - service already exists
dumpster, - service already exists
sleeping bag, - ewwww no, just no
large fan, - service exists for industrial site fans, doesn't make sense for home use. If you need it all summer you'd better buy.
car jack, - is a tool and can be rented
juicer - because I only want fresh juice this weekend?
Many of these are rentable commodities, but there are players already in the marketplace. Unless you believe that the existing market is inefficient, or doesn't serve the community in your chosen area, then you're just duplicating what's already there.
Putting it under one roof may have some marginal value, but it also means your initial investment is huge and likely your large warehouse will be out of town, increasing delivery costs.
And for that reason, I'm out.
