* What does it mean? Collect on behalf of whom? Trading of booty?

* As I understand it, these shops (this is a ‘Famous Alcohol and Tobacco’ shop) make money by a) selling an expensive present at say, 500Y to Party A, who then b) presents it to Party B as a gift, who expresses their undying gratitude and then c) sells it back to the shop for somewhat less than 500Y, who will then sell it back to Party A next time they need to give someone a present. I could be entirely wrong, of course.
