For me, this only makes sense if applied to local businesses.

I want to buy some items (let's say some kind of food) and I'm ready to do it on a regular basis, but no store near me has the items. This app would make a win-win for me and the store.

Local businesses are definitely important! We want to satisfy the casual sellers and the smaller businesses too.

Ideally, we'll sync up with the stock these businesses are currently holding and then be able to let them know who wants to buy their products. Win-win since businesses are accessing new customers that didn't previously know about them and the buyers are getting what they need.

I like the locality aspect though and I agree that should play a big role in this side of things.

Cheers!
