And weirdly, I can’t think of anything I can buy for 6cents a pound.

  Adjusting for inflation (using the only date in the article, 1991), that's $0.11/lb in today's money! Hmm, still can't think of anything I can buy for that amount.

    Bubble wrap maybe.

  Tap water comes to mind as being considerably cheaper than that. I'm pretty sure that gravel and sand are, too.

    Three of the less breakable items you could move!

      Indeed, and I can't imagine someone paying a moving company to transport any of those three rather than leaving them behind and buying new tapwater, gravel, or sand at their destination!
