Sound slike a great service from a consumers point of view. However, as an investor, what is their business model - ie how are they making money from such transactions? It sounds like a low margin to negative margin business.

I recently heard that some VC pumped money into these guys based on an approx $300M valuation. I can't see how that was arrived at.
