We need a safe deposit box for modern times.
This is a business idea that I think has the potential to be a multi-billion dollar business.
The idea is simple: you ship items to a secure storage facility. When the facility receives the items, they take pictures of each item and store them for you. At any time, you can log onto the website and view your items.
The storage facility should be located in a safe area relatively free from natural disasters, like Virginia (where most data centers are located) or Switzerland (famed for safe banking). The facilities should also be climate-controlled with high security. Anything you send to the facility can be marked as confidential so it is not opened, photographed, and placed online.
This service is perfect for collectors of all kinds. You can have your baseball cards, comic books, paintings, and prized antiques cataloged and stored. The service would probably charge a monthly or yearly fee, and maybe cataloging and handling fees. Perhaps they can even do dropshipping and ownership transfers for selling expensive collectables online.
The website will show your stored items, and can be fully searchable. You can have items sent back to you on demand with a click of a button (and maybe a fee).
