I'm making this suggestion because I would personally use this service and I know several others who would as well. I've recently been obsessed with spring cleaning and getting rid of my excess things, but here's the problem: I would love to make some profit off of the stuff I'm already planning to get rid of, but I don't want to put in the time/effort to individually list and ship each item on eBay, Craigslist, Copious, etc. I would love to have someone else do all of this for me and keep 40% or more of the profit. This is kind of like eBay/Craigslist flipping, except your wife wouldn't have to buy the items initially.

I don't know how or why this story got out, but I think it's completely inappropriate to call out a team for not making the cut. It's hard enough as it is to put yourself out there and apply, but making news of an unsuccessful application makes it that much more daunting for someone to even decide to give it a shot.

I hope this article doesn't discourage people from applying in the future.
