Ever consider selling plastic out of your car?

Kind of a strange experience yesterday at Carey. I was about halfway through a casual round when I had some out of staters from ND approach me asking where in town that they could get a disc. I had to tell them (to my chagrin) that there really weren't any places in Hutch that I knew of that they could get one on such short notice.
They asked if I had anything I'd be willing to part with from my own collection, and considering that I went a bit overboard on plastic this year, I figured "why not". So I ran home to get my spare box which I bring to tournaments. In a nutshell, I ended up selling them $25 worth of plastic. Didn't make any profit, but it was nice to help some fellow disc golfers out.
This isn't the first time that I've been approached on the course by people wondering where they can get a disc. I've been pondering the idea for some time of having a "sale" box or two in my trunk. Perhaps one box of DX/Pro D discs for beginners and another of the pricier plastic for more seasoned players who just need an extra. The idea really wouldn't be to make money, just to help get some more people playing.
Just wondering if anybody here is doing this or has considered it themselves. If so, I'd be interested if what molds/weights would be the best prospects to have in the box. Its probably going to be a more expensive outlay than its worth (the box I showed them alone had $200 worth of plastic in it), but my experience yesterday makes me wonder.

or have a variety of user friendly discs (starters)like a XL,Storm,Buzz,Wasp,Comet. 
Yeah,experienced players want the newest hottest ,(this is a sale).Beginers NEED a little less disc that they can learn to control.Also,less disc means more distance when you are talking lo-power throws!
