I had an idea. If it already exists, please tell me!

Trying to cash in my miscellanea is like a second job, and I'd rather spend my weekends doing something else. I liked the idea of using Amazon Fulfillments posted here on HN, but I found that it's moderately annoying to have to look up every single thing yourself. I have a box of a couple hundred different cables and random electronic parts, for example.

I'd love to just snap some pictures with my phone and have someone tell me what's worth selling; that way, I could just gather together the most profitable items to sell and donate the rest.

I know how to implement this system and make it sustainable, but my question is: do you think it's worth spending time on?

Go ahead. If I could turn photos of my stuff into money, I would do it.

Hell, I would get rid of so much stuff I don't feel like finding their worth. Cards, old consoles, old textbooks, etc.

Thanks for the feedback! I have exactly the same feeling. I have so many boxes of things that I've collected ...and moved with... but never use.

dude. just make it. do it in iterations so you can test it out to get feedback.

Well, the first step was to figure out if it's been done before. I only put in about an hour thinking about it... and it's so simple that I imagine it's been tried, and the people who would know would be on HN. :)
