### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**

Welcome to our Safe Shipping Guide

We've Made A Deal. Now What? Welcome to our Safe Shipping Guide!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are shipping in advance of payment, please print a FEDEX label charged to our account (inquire for a link to our FedEx page).
DO NOT PRINT A LABEL IF WE HAVE PAID YOU IN ADVANCE!

Communicate, Communicate — Keep Us Informed

BEFORE shipping your items, communicate with us to notify of your shipment plans. You can do this by
email or phone <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PHONE_NUMBER>. Consult your email notifications from 2nd Markets to get our email address and shipping address.
We need to be aware of incoming packages so that we can process your payment as quickly as possible.

If Shipping in Advance of Payment (Payment Upon Delivery option)

Once 2nd Markets confirms your shipment plans, it is time to pack and ship. If you are shipping in advance of payment (Payment Upon Delivery option), you will print a FedEx
label and all shipping and insurance charges will be paid by us.

Package your items, tape the FedEx label on the box, and take the box to any FedEx Drop-Box or FedEx Office location (or call FedEx to arrange a pick up). All costs including
insurance are paid by us. You track the package at the FedEx.com website using your tracking number from the label (be sure to save a copy of the tracking number).

WHERE CAN I GET BOXES? You can get free boxes at FedEx, or you can buy heavy duty shipping boxes for a very low price at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Office Depot, or Staples.

HOW DO I PACK THE ITEMS? You can place the entire collection in its original book into the box, and then place bubble wrap or wadded up newspaper, or those pesky peanuts
around the items. WOODEN BOXES: We may not need the wooden box (we are already overflowing with them and rarely get an order for one). In that case, you remove the medals or ingots from the wood case,
then carefully wrap each medal or ingot in tissue paper or sandwich baggies, then place the whole set into a One Gallon Ziplock Bag. This bag is then placed inside the box and
padded with lots of bubble wrap or other material. The goal is to prevent movement inside the box once it is sealed.

HOW DO I SEAL THE BOX? Use lots of heavy 2 inch Scotch Strapping Tape (available at Walmart, Walgreen’s and many stores) After taping
the box(es) securely, make sure there are no old labels visible on the outside of the box. If there are, cover them up.
Sometimes FedEx will help you fix this by putting their own tape over the box when you're ready to mail it.
If you're not sure, just bring to FedEx and they'll help you out.

WILL FEDEX DO THE PACKING FOR ME? Yes, but it will cost you. We do not reimburse the costs of having a packing service package the contents for you.

If We Have Already Paid For Your Items

If we have paid you in advance, you are responsible for the cost of shipping and insurance. Our preferred shipper is FedEx, but the final choice is yours, whatever is best for you works for us.

Prepare for shipment by packaging your items, as follows...
If shipping via Post Office, obtain a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box from the post office. These come in several different sizes.

You can fill it with up to 25 pounds of items for a flat rate of around $15.00 plus insurance. Be sure to insure your items for the
appraised value. With Insured Priority Mail, you can insure a shipment for up to $5,000. If your transaction is worth
more than this amount, you can use Registered Mail to fully insure the items (the Smithsonian Museum in
Washington D.C. ships rare valuables using Registered Mail, so it is very secure!).

Secure your items inside a strong cardboard box like the USPS Flat Rate box. Use plenty of packing material so the
contents don't have room to move around in the box, or bang into other items, during shipment.

Use lots of heavy 2 inch Scotch Strapping Tape (available at Walmart, Walgreen’s and many stores) After taping
the box(es) securely, make sure there are no old labels visible on the outside of the box. If there are, cover them up.
Sometimes the Post Office will help you fix this by putting their own tape over the box when you're ready to mail it.
If you're not sure, just bring to the Post Office and they'll help you out.

Use our mailing label (shown below) and affix it to the outside of the box.

Drop Off The Package At FED EX (or schedule a pick up) or Your Preferred Shipper

Once everything is packaged properly, it's time to go to drop off the package. If you are shipping in advance of payment using our FedEx account, simply drop off the package at any FedEx drop box or location.
If shipping by post office, you will need to buy insurance, you cannot simply give your package to the mail man.

If you'd like to use a different shipping provider or carrier (other than the FedEx), it is OK but shipping costs will probably be much higher. To save money, we highly
recommend the FedEx. If shipping by Fed Ex or UPS, be sure to request GROUND SERVICE to save money.

NOTE: If you ship using our FedEx account (Payment Upon Delivery option) we are responsible if your items are lost or damaged during shipment and we will pay for your items
even if they are lost in transit (we have a $25,000 shipper's insurance policy which covers every package we receive).
If you use UPS or US Postal Service, if items are lost or damaged in transit, your insurance will cover it. This is why it is so important to securely and carefully package your
items in gorilla-proof packaging.

IMPORTANT! Include Your Details Inside

It is VITAL that you include your full name, address, phone number, email, and details about the deal in a letter inside the package.
Too many sellers forget to include details INSIDE the package, and when the box gets thrown away, we have no idea how to contact you.

Also, be sure to include an inventory list of the items you are shipping (or if you have been corresponding with us through
e-mail, enclose a copy of the last e-mail sent or received).

Notify Us That Shipment Is On Its Way

Send an email message to confirm the shipment has taken place.

Receive Payment (unless we have already paid, of course :)

When 2nd Markets receives your shipment, we will send you a confirmation e-mail.
Shortly thereafter (usually the same day, not more than 2 business days), we will notify you via email that shipment has been received and payment will be made.
This offer will always be a confirmation of the original offer sent to you, unless a mistake has been made by you when describing what you had. NOTE: in the rare event of an economic collapse or world calamity, we reserve the right to cancel
offers and return your items to you at our cost.

HOW WILL I BE PAID?

PAYMENT UPON DELIVERY is the usual method. If you prefer
PAYMENT IN ADVANCE we will need to run a background check on you before we send payment, please inquire.
