On the fungibility of sofas
Date: 2011-01-31 12:52 pm (UTC)If the sofa is a commodity item (say, a common IKEA design) it could take part in a two, three or n-part exchange of identical sofas in which fewer-than-n sofas actually move the while distance, and the end-point recipients receive locally-sourced sofas that are identical to the distant sofas.
Post this to er... Freecycle? Where do sofa donors and recipients signal their market positions on the Web? This is a problem of communication and intermediation, not long-distance logistics.
Assuming, of course, that the sofa in question is a commodity item and not a distinctive crafted work.
