This is done to some extent on https://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/ (also a
good model for a non-ebay trading site). A few members - mostly those from
the days of rec.models.uk - with frequent business runs across the country
will store-and-forward items. That can work on UK distances but I'm not
sure about USA - and very unlikely transatlantic.

A lot of us have storage spaces and we could all possibly work together to
create a FIDONET of shipping vintage computer items from one node to the
next. I know it's probably in practice impractical on a large scale
perhaps but theoretically this might be a nice way to get items slowly and
cheaply from point A to point B (via several less expensive hops).
