What’s The Online Equivalent of a Vending Machine Business

I have read many many times that buying a vending machine and restocking it can be a good way of generating some extra income, even now. I guess it because there will always be people willing to pay for convenience. My question is…what’s the equivalent business model in the online world?

  • Amazon Marketplace. Though you'll never find goods to sell as cheap as the pros.

  • Saw a vending machine the other day that had blind boxes with all different vinyl toys that you could sms and pick it up at the machine

    • Are you in Tokyo?

      Yep, there's one in Marrickville mall and a few around World Square in Sydney. <$1 Aliexpress landfill being sold for $10+ in a colourful vending machine.

  • Probably drop shipping of some form

    Yes, but this convenience already exists in the online world / it is very difficult to beat. Unless you are intending to beat Prime next day shipping, you can't exactly say that you are offering convenience over existing options.
