I propose the following (generally speaking of course):

Wealthy people purchase new stuff all of the time

Wealthy people don`t know what to do with their old stuff their replacing

Wealthy people do not give their old stuff away to other wealthy people for fear of the receiver being perceived as "in need".

Wealthy people need a resource to liquidate the stuff (furniture, clothing, jewelry, etc) they no longer have a desire to own.

Does anyone agree?  And if so, have a solution to this problem?

They`re called charities, GoodWill, and other thrift stores. That, or antique sales. :-)

It`s called ... those are the best yard sales in town! It`s totally the place to get baby clothes ... nothing like people selling clothes their kids have only worn once (or never at all)!

I would venture to wager, most people pack things into every available space of their home. Just in case they might need that thingy-majig in the future. Eventually the place gets so full that you can`t stand the clutter.

Boom! It all explodes into a garage sale... then friends and families take what they like. Then a charity or donation point. Or... sadly... the trash or landfill.

I think someone`s already invented a solution.  It`s called eBay.
