Do you have a lot of used books, games or movies? When you clean your house, are you constantly tripping over books and video games? Does the sliding door on the family mini van smash one kid’s movie a week on average? Some of these items still get used, but most of them have become ‘extended furniture’. Figuring out what to do with it all can be a challenge. Media Marten can help. It may be a surprising discovery that things you don’t use anymore can have value. A book about a teenage wizard might pay for a new goldfish for the kids, because of that unfortunate vacuum cleaner accident. An exercise DVD might pay for the little rubber gadget that goes in the tub.
A customer that uses a Media Marten can turn potential solid waste into a reusable product. People can sell or donate used books and media to a Marten, make money and do some good. Let your neighbors use the books and media you don’t need, and it benefits the local community, economy, and environment.
Whether you live in a small town or a neighborhood in a large city, you are part of a community. Supporting your favorite local restaurants and stores is a part of your daily routine. The economy has made that kind of patronage more difficult lately. Local merchants that have a Media Marten in their stores or even nearby can share the benefits. More people can sell their used items locally and will have more available funds to spend. Even items that don’t have much monetary value can benefit the community. Donations can be made through a Marten that benefit area schools, charitable programs and freecycle. The Media Marten benefits any local economy, its people, and the environment.
Any local bookstore can create a revenue stream that they never had before with a Media Marten. A kiosk can be placed in high traffic areas where people go every week like a grocery store or a town square. People can sell items to the kiosk even when the lights are out at the book store. Students from a nearby college campus might fill the Marten with textbooks, while neighborhood families stock it with other items. The store’s inventory and customerbase expands from placing a kiosk in the community. It doesn't require a lease, more fossil fuel for heat and lights, or even a new fire extinguisher. All that’s needed are a few feet of space and a power supply. The ability to search pricing databases and purchase items is built in. The Media Marten is truly ‘a green business in a box'.
Inventory is what fuels an online seller’s business. Anyone who has ever gone to a library or community book sale has probably thought that there has got to be a better way to find inventory. The Media Marten creates a pathway for the inventory find you. It shouldn’t have to take up so much of your time, effort, and resources. A Marten will allow you to spend more time on things like effective pricing strategies and developing your marketing. Leave the inventory gathering to Media Marten.

 The new Media Martens have arrived just in time for the New Year 2010. Sell your books, DVDs, video games and other media to this kiosk or you can recycle unwanted media in an effort to de-clutter.
The really cool part is that you can even own a Media Marten and have a green business of your own.  |
