Send me an empty box ? Why not send me a Google Glass. I'll put on the glass, look at the object I want to sell, and say "Glass, Sell!". It will then take a picture of the object, upload to cloud, run a few ML algos to figure out a competitive price point & vendor site ( ebay, amazon, niche ) & list my item on vendor with a auto-generated description ( standard summarization algos ). If it were smart enough, it would run a second price auction of the item on my behalf, perhaps flag bidder bots as well, and auto-tweet me when the item was sold. I'd walk out the door with the object & an unmanned Google Car would be waiting outside. Toss the object into the car & the amount gets credited to my Google Wallet. Fun times...

If the item is small enough, the tacocopter could take it on its return journey.
From watching their videos it looks like they're huge Apple fanboys. I doubt they'll ever support Google anything.
