Comment on Why 3 MIT Grads Want to Send You an Empty Boxparent

The problem is real for me too. What is really crazy is that I may actually be too lazy to snap a picture and email it.

When I had more time and less money I would buy camera equipment from people on CL, and resell it for huge mark ups. Most people just wanted it gone and were willing to get a little cash.

I bet they do a lot more volume than people are giving them credit for. I also think a smart phone app that allows you to take a photo and immediately send it to the company would increase their potential merchandise.

They have an iPhone app which makes the whole process very slick, including taking pictures. I haven't tried selling with it yet, but it looks nice.
