#12An app which crawls over internet and gives best deal/price for any item you search and you never have to search 100s of diff deal sites to compare the lowest.

#13A free gym membership where you pay $1 for the days you don't show up
This would need to be implemented as a $30 membership that gives a $1 discount for every check-in over a 30 day period for the next month's payment, or better yet, $60 with a $2 daily discount because memberships below $30 aren't really enough to run a gym. It would be better to give credit that can be exchanged for things. Better yet, become the company that sets up turnkey reward programs for active gym members.
or you could overcharge them, say $60/mo, then say to get the 30 back they have to come in daily.

#14Indirect exchange site. You put in what you are willing to give away e.g. a CD and what you are looking for e.g. a coffee mug. The site trawls all the 'swap' sites (like Craig's list) looking for intermediate swaps that will achieve the desired result e.g. you have a CD, Tom has a tennis ball and William has a coffee mug. William wants a tennis ball and Tom wants a CD. The program matches you all up so you give your CD to Tom, Tom gives his tennis ball to William and William gives his coffee mug to you. A 'mega-barter' system like this removes the need for a currency ...

That's like the story about a guy who uptraded a paperclip for a house. Nice.

The problem is at $50/month+ the service expectations become much more expensive to provide -- even though a dedicated member could get it back into the 30s.
Edit: what I mean is that if price ranges from $30-60 the average cost will be a lot nearer that range that's perceived as upscale gym. Whereas ranging from $0-60 would at least appear to be nearer the ordinary $30/month average. It would entirely depend on usage, obviously.

The challenge is in the actual exchange of the physical goods. You make the effort and take the time to meet Tom in a coffee shop downtown in your lunch break and hand him the CD after he turns up late. Tom is a lazy ass and doesn't bother to meet William and ignores his pleading emails. You are then down one CD and one coffee mug. There is a good reason why money exists as a primary form of exchange rather than barter.
I had a similar idea for an app, but kept hitting physical barriers to implementation.

I recently heard of GymPact, they seem to be doing something similar.
