University Buy-Back

Ok, so they TRY to help us out by buying our books back (but honestly, we usually end up screwed over anyway because the publishers decided to add an extra 4 pages and thus its a new "edition" to sell...ugh) but I've got a better idea. At the end of the year, the university could buy back unneeded "college gear" from new grads and kids moving out of the dorms into bigger apartments/housing. They'd buy the plastic plates, the futons, shower caddies, etc. that students no longer wanted, giving grads a little extra cash to get going into the working world and other students a little bonus for making it through the year. Then, as each school year starts, the university would have a huge sale for all the incoming students. It'd be especially beneficial for students coming from out of town and that couldn't bring larger items like desks and TVs with them and keep them from having to do the ridiculous IKEA/Target mad run before classes start. I imagine the university could even pair up with companies like Target and Walmart who could essentially help buy back the goods before it sells to the new students. It'd bring in some great PR for both the companies and the university and bring a little extra financial aid to kids in some of their poorest days. 

Might pose a bit of a storage issue but could be really interesting.
