The virtual (ebay) spawns the physical (stores)
eBay drop off stores are the latest in a line of eBay extensions. Tired of spending alot of time managing your eBay aucitons? Just take your stuff down to Isold It or AuctionDrop or QuickDrop and they do everything for you and send you a check. Now it is not cheap, somewhere between 30 and 40% of the sale price, but it may be worth it. I have sold alot of stuff that I otherwise would have just taken to the dump. The time spend packing, shipping, and answering e-mail probably ate up any profits. It was really just to save it from the landfill. This seems like a business any number of people who already have stores could get into like GoodWill, PawnShops, etc. But they probably won't. And people will love the idea.
Maybe I should buy a franchise...
