Are "old" and "unwanted" coordinate adjectives?
Do they need to be separated by a comma in the following? I think they're coordinate, but using a comma between them seems incorrect somehow.
"if you need to get rid of your old unwanted items..."
"if you need to get rid of your old unwanted items..."

I agree with you. Strictly there should be a comma, but it seems a bit pedantic. I get the impression that the use of commas between coordinate adjectives (at least when there are only two) is declining.
