There are services where you can drop off eligible items, and they will research them, photograph them, post them to eBay, and ship them. This wouldn't handle the temporary-storage model, but they do handle everything related to selling.
They are nice in that you can just drop stuff off, never see it again, and sometimes get a check in th email. But the downside is that after fees and percentages, you see about 50-60% of what the item sells for. So it's good for boxes of old stuff that have some value, but that you know you'll never break down and sell individually.
- pervycreeper 13y agoThis sounds like a potentially very useful service. The one downside is that objects with a value below a certain threshold will not be worth their time, and would likely just be moved to a landfill. Out of personal interest (as a potential user): can you name some of these businesses?
- wikwocket 13y agoThe one I know of, in the Chicagoland area, is "iSold It on eBay." I believe it is a franchise with a bunch of locations. They have certain categories of things they will try to sell, and things they won't bother with. If it sells, they can mail you a check. If not, you can pick it up, or they can donate it to charity. They may accept things to sell by mail, but then of course you're taking a further hit on shipping.
