Businesses build brick and mortar (or concrete, steel, and glass) buildings to sell things for a profit. Build a business by buying and reselling their things and skip the costs and risks of operating a building and its inventory. It may sound parasitic, but it is legal and viable. A new style of businesses may turn big box stores, and even corner stores, into intermediaries concerned more with warehousing than customer service.
