I love this idea, but I'd love it even more if you donated stuff if it didn't sell so I didn't have to. Having access to a truck is hard when you live in a city and mostly don't use cars.

And you might want to flesh out a bit more on being a mobile consignment shop. I mean - the problem you're really solving is "I want to buy something on Craigslist, but neither the buyer nor seller have time to move it". No reason that should come with the restrictions of 90 minutes for moving.



If they were unscrupulous, they could just claim none of your stuff sold, sell it, and keep 100%. Returning the unsold items keeps them honest.

Not in any way claiming they are, this just makes sense as a policy to build trust with sellers.


They're holding an auction for each item. Presumably the auction will be listed somewhere on their site so you could easily see if anyone bid or not.


    int getBids(){
      //return bids;
      return 0;
    }

If that happened, people would just stop using the service since nothing got sold.
