Right now there isn't a "they" as far as who's products would be sold - just the idea. The business model for the sales is rather interesting... there is already a brick & mortar store where used books are sold, videos are rented and dry cleaning can be dropped off.
Now what they want to do is set up a drop-shipper website and then put in a kiosk that would let a customer come in, browse the available products and purchase them, giving the option to have an order shipped to the store or directly to them. And this is my mother-in-law, there's no getting out of me being involved. Hatton On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 9:50 AM, Cameron Childress <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 9:18 AM, C.
