I remember working retail in 98-99 and an older couple came in. They starting to talk to me about starting an internet business and I was interested as I didn't know any better and the web was all the rage at the time. They came to my parents house and it was basically a version of Amazon Subscribe and Save where they would send you items on a monthly schedule. It sounds like the same e-commerce business idea you encountered.
