If you're going to midtown then somewhere on the east with an express bus should be OK. I live in Teaneck by a bus stop and it takes like 30 minutes with no traffic, 50 with traffic. Jersey city/ Hoboken could also be good - really just the closer to the city you get, the better the commute will be

In the more religious Jewish world, we have these things called Gemachs that are basically exactly this, and they exist for the most random things. Where I live (bergen county), there's one for Medical Supplies, Wedding Gowns, Fancy Table Cloths and Centerpieces, Tools, all kinds of things. It's definitely a concept that would be cool to see go mainstream
