A Request for the Aid of the Soulless

After losing my soul for the 3rd time this Hallowmas, I've been beginning to wonder about something. With all the social interaction involved in the game and across the forums, why hasn't someone devised a social interaction to help the soulless find their souls? The idea follows similarly to that of A Game of Chance. But instead of just sending packages to random Londoners, soulless individuals would request Surprise Packages to be sent to their address from other players. Those players, when they obtained the Give A Gift! card, would send a package to a soulless player of their choice in the hopes of the package reaching A Bundle of Oddities... quality of 200 to return their soul. The sender could in return ask for some form of payment as a thank you (a mutual package in return, an invite to Caligula's, some other request, or perhaps no payment at all), in which they would list in the topic page. Simply state that you'd like to either receive or send packages on the page and list what you would like in return or what you'd be willing to pay with.
Normally I'd post the full version on the Bazaar section of the forums so players could try it out. Unfortunately, I don't have much more than an outline for the idea, and said outline is merely a messy guideline riddled with possible errors and flaws in the system. That being the case, I figured I'd run the idea across players on the Salons before putting the idea into action. Perhaps you could give me a few ideas on how to better the system, or just your over opinion for or against it. Maybe you'd even like to take up the idea and adopt it as your own. I'd just like to see something done for the soulless population of London, so any advice or help you could spare would be much appreciated.

Other means. I'm thinking the student body might be capped at one point lower than the value needed to get your soul back, but I haven't done any testing for it so I just commented on the other aspect of the post. I also brought up the reason why the free method wouldn't be locked out after the first time just in case someone has observed a change in that behavior; I haven't played that branch in months, so my information may be somewhat outdated.
Edit: To be slightly more transparent in my experience of retrieving souls without Fate - Gloria has lost her soul multiple times, but had it back before the change that prevented the Fisher-Kings from returning one's soul. Madison has lost her soul once, but her retrieval of it happened post-update. Madison got hers back via The Student Body, so she may have hit that window in which that storylet still worked for it.
