I still don’t know how those Redbox boxes work.

Who or what puts in the DVD I want?, and how does all the returned DVDs not overflow the box?

Redbox has a single vending machine salesman doing dozens of boxes?

it is a brilliant business plan... I just have no idea how it works...

Someone can own multiple boxes. The box owner puts in the DVDs, but *I believe* that’s ALL they put in when a new title comes out - just the disc. So it takes up very little space. The box already contains a large number of generic, thin DVD cases. *I believe* the machine loads and unloads the individual discs from it’s supply of generic cases.

According to wikipedia: “As of April, 2007, kiosks had averaged 49.1 rentals per day and $37,457 a year in revenue.”
