COLLECTING AND REDEEMING DYNAMICALLY PRICED DEPOSITS ON GOODS

摘要

Goods may be collected and dynamically priced deposits may be redeemed to consumers. A good may be sold to a consumer and the details of the sale may be stored in a memory. A price may be collected for the good and this may be stored in the memory. A deposit on the good may be collected where the good may contain a unique code and where the deposit is correlated to a current market value of the good. The unique code may be stored with the details about the good in a memory where the unique code includes information representing at least one of whether the good is refurbish-able and whether the good contains desired recyclable material, a manufacturer of the good and a date of manufacture of the good. If the consumer consents, an indication of the consumer may be stored with the unique code. The returned good may be refurbished or recycled and the consumer may be offered a return of a deposit based on the current market value of the good which may be based on the value of the materials in the good.
