This treats the symptoms, not the cause.

You're definitely right. However, it does help those of us who understand that there is a problem push ourselves in the right direction and not only embrace the start of a solution but help us make it part of our lives, which makes it far easier and more honest to advocate the same.

Or, just post that shit on Craigslist and save shipping a bunch of crap a long distance for the second time.

Seriously, if you have some stuff, here's how I would get rid of it on Craigslist:

1. Valuable Stuff

Take nice pictures and some time to write a decent description and get the full value of what it's worth.

Or

Spend almost zero time on a bare bones post and get half of what it's worth.

2. Worthless Crap

Post it as a bulk lot and get like $10 for everything

Or

Donate to thrift store and get a tax deduction

Either way, you'll probably get more than the $10 per box that this service would offer, plus you'll not needlessly ship stuff all over the place.
