Imagine a physical space – a warehouse or shop in a mall –
in which you could put your stuff on display for sale. You
can put any price you want and you have 6 months (or less) in which to sell an
item. If you don’t sell in 6 months then you forfeit your space to someone
else, who will presumably set his price in the affordable range. Your items
will be kept safely in the store with the best security the owner of the space
can provide (or you could take your item/s home and bring them in at the
weekend, for instance). Every seller gets a unique number (sticker on item) and
account which is credited when a sale is made; less 5% which goes to the
warehouse or shop owner to help pay for the rental of the space. That is the
only cost incurred by the seller. The seller does not have to contribute
towards the rental of the shop or warehouse.
What if your stuff * does not sell and the shop has to close?
