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.
