I'd be surprised if these aren't already deployed. I visited a logistics trade fair in Stuttgart and was impressed with the concept. That said, it will work for things in the "library" aka small goods, but let's see

Thanks for the story. I'm playing around with the idea of developing a case, with either a built-in battery or solar, that will help charge your phone. The problem with solar is the lack of energy density obviously and like you say, me

Dunn is correct in his thesis, though it's nothing new with respect to the fact it's been happening in offline retail since forever. It's a given that companies who sell their own stuff will have better gross margin than thos

The private label strategy, though appearing as a last resort, does make some sense i.e gross margins improvement. I think this serves as a lesson to those folks operating with primarily or even just operating partly in ecommerce. That is,

I've thrown up a concept of the New Mogul type forum (based on Vanilla Forums) I can setup. Check out: http://www.macgregorindustries.com If I could get the domain name, would this be something we can use?
