Great idea! Could you please let me know to whom should I pass items in Re-use center (to receptionist in the lobby)?
I’ve been thinking that it would be wonderful if KAUST had a consignment store where KAUST members can bring their things to be sold in a centralized place. There is so much coming and going in KAUST that both people looking for items as well as people selling their stuff would really benefit from such a concept. Usually, the store would take a certain percentage of the selling price and the owner of the item would get the rest.
I think the concept would work great if there was specific rules as to what items could be sold there (e.g. household items, clothes and toys etc. in good condition) and how long any particular item could remain there before the owner needs to take it back if it was not sold (otherwise the item would go to charity).
