I really like this idea. I agree there's a big activation energy to getting rid of stuff. Often I have things that are for specific tasks or activities, where it wouldn't make sense to donate them to Goodwill. Having something like this would help, because you would know it would get used, but you don't have to figure out where to send it. At the receiving point, you could even coordinate with different charities - like the ones that want eyeglasses or old cell phones. So, some could get sold and some could get donated.

I didn't know about the Amazon trade-in program. That sounds great for books and games.
