Actually I think Amazon supports something similar to this, wherein you ship them crap to hold on to and then after they receive and inventory it, they can optionally sell it for you.

Though I'm not sure how the shipping plays into that.

Yeah, but you still have to list it, which is work. I actually used a service like this to sell my book collection before I last moved. You ship them a box of books and that's it. After 3 months they tell you which ones they sold, give you 50% of the profit and ask you what to do with the ones that didn't sell.

What are the options for non-sold books?

They offered to return them to me or recycle them: http://www.goldstonebooks.co.uk/files/rubbish.jpg
