Marketplace & Community Swaps
Second-hand sales, giveaways and swaps between people.
Marketplace: lockers support an exchange between two people who don't need to meet.
- The customer problem
- Selling or swapping locally means arranging to meet strangers.
- Who uses it
- Residents, employees and community members.
- How deposit, collection and return work
- The seller lists an item and deposits it. The buyer pays or claims it and collects with a code.
- Who fulfils the service
- Community members themselves; you provide the lockers and listings.
- Who might pay
- A small listing or transaction fee, or a building or community amenity fee.
- Suitable locations
- Residential & Communities
What to validate before launch
- Enough active members to keep items moving
- Rules for prohibited items
- How disputes are handled
This is a potential opportunity, not an existing installation or verified profitable business.
