Thank you! Again, very helpful. Clearly, the message/concept will need to be carefully crafted to encourage good behavior.
One solution that occurred to me: sharing X% of proceeds back with the donor. The idea being that this would encourage people to send more objectively valuable stuff (though as you point out people are terrible at estimating value).
I like really like the idea of donating to specific causes. Did the thrift shop pay the charities a portion of the proceeds in exchange for the boxes?

- Dove 13y agoDid the thrift shop pay the charities a portion of the proceeds in exchange for the boxes? Sort of. It would have been impossible to track that, but corporate did have some idea what the average box (from a particular source) was worth, and paid them that amount. Or maybe the charity set the price. I don't know. I just know it was different for different sources, and well justified.
