Actually there is an ethical line to this point. Apart from the enviromental point of view, it is gaining goods by deception, basically this is embezlement which is a crime. I am sure that Jumbletown was set up in order to save our enviroment and not to give an income suppliment to the "less honest" in our community.
Unwanted goods are passed on to those in need of them in good faith, wether they be less well off or unable to afford such items new. It would be easier in some situations to give to charities that we all know that will sell these items on...still keeping 80% of them out of landfill.
I for one like the idea of doing something proactive to maintain this beautiful country and have the extra benifit of maybe meeting new freinds along the way And doing a good deed to some one who NEEDS the things i no longer have a use for.

Regards

Tid :-)
