Give + Take Shop - business model

An eco shop in East Dulwich has an interesting business model - bring in unwanted furniture or clothes and get a store credit for 50% of the net selling price. Presumably 'net' in this case means sale price less VAT.

ThredUp

Interesting. Not a brokerage - they buy the clothes from you and then re-sell.

Pay-Per-Minute Cafe

Interesting business model innovation - cafe in Moscow where you pay for the time you're there and get free beverages.

Goldsmith's Jewellery Vending Machine

Goldsmith's in Westfield Stratford Goldsmith’s boutique will include Autonomous Retailing Machines – vending machines that allow customers to purchase products out of operating hours.

Interesting to see how that works out.

Milk vending machine

In August 2011 a milk vending machine was installed in Gosforth by dairy farmer Richard Mawson. Interesting to check back and see if it works out and is still there in a year.
