**algorithm:**

   - Put in small area with restricted acces(RFID lock,social pressure, camera) storage.
  - Anybody(seller) can bring goods, scan barcode and set price (with small profit).
  - Anybody(buyer) can scan packaged material, agree on price and leave with bought goods.
  - System keeps balance of members accounts.
  - System take away 2% or 2Kc from every transaction.
  - At the end of month/year members could deposit/withdraw money.
  - Storage area is fixed, unsold goods will be forced on seller after month/year.

**ussage:**

I am missing sugar at dormitories. I will go check local comunity storage. If I got one, cool. If there isn't any sugar, I will go to the shop and buy 10kg of sugar. One is for me, and rest I will "sell" to the community storage. Because we know each other, I know what I can buy for others and I will not set extra high prices. It could work for up to 100 people.
