How to rent out my video equipment?

Where to list my video equipment for rental?

I've accumulated what I think would be a great equipment package for no-budget indie filmmakers to rent in the New York area. Canon HV20 and HV30 HDV video cameras, plus a dual-channel wireless lav microphone system that I used to shoot a big project recently. I was thinking of trying to rent it all out as a package at a competitive rate to earn some extra cash while it's just sitting around collecting dust. Where's the best place to list something like this?

Besides Craigslist?

Your own website? Pair with a local camera store to list your package on their website, offering them a cut whenever someone books the package through them?

Do you live near a college with a film program? Certainly there.

Good idea about a local college. Regarding craigslist, what category would be the best fit as there's no 'rental'. Just in the regular Video/Electronics for sale?
