The video of the stack of items isn't enough to see how strong the bond truly is.
I couldn't add more than one item, even when I copied and pasted your code from the front page (sample) directly.
I think AirBnB was spamming craigslist when they first started, and now their customers are doing it for them. Craigslist is free advertising. (Just a thought)
I've read a lot of books on productivity, the one that has stuck with me is called "The 4 Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss. If you haven't read it, read it now.
How well do you know <student name>?
Then do a multiple choice. Then they will probably share the quiz with their friends.
The colors don't mean anything, just personal preference- not unlike iPod nanos.
We shipped out the labels your cofounder bought earlier today.
What is your business out of curiosity?
1. About the reward; the returner does not know what the reward will be, however we do mention that there is a minimum $20 reward.
The business is built around the idea that the general public is good. They generally want to return someone's lost stuff. What we've found so far is that the label just makes the process possible, and painless.
That's why we have the "Good Karma" badge :)
2. Thanks, I have fixed the typo.
3. About the expansion with tamper proof stickers, that's certainly a possibility. We haven't done much corporate business yet, so we're not sure the demand for that sort of thing. Our early customers have mostly been individuals.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Will you do me a favor and check out my startup here too: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3073337
Thanks
As far as the rest of your website, for me personally, I trust websites that are polished, simple, and have professional copy. I was really impressed with Swipe.com recently and immediately trusted them.
The enlarged radio buttons don't look good on Firefox 7 Mac. In general radio/list/select fields not not scale well.
The 3% fund from you is a nice touch.
There needs to be a link which you can share with other people to help fund your purchase on the account page. Don't see a link.

"You currently have 0 completed funds. " Should be at least 1, right?
I like the idea just needs a little more polish and a lot more pitch. To be honest I just don't trust the service in it's current state.
