  I'm not poor but definitely not wealthy.   In my case I just about never sell used things since I hang on to them the full lifespan often beyond when they have donation value.  Clothes are pretty worn out, appliances and car have been maintained and repaired to the point they are beyond repair.

  This seems to be true from casual observation. Any articles or studies on this? >
  
  This applies to many people on the income spectrum. Not just wealthy. 
  Sometimes it’s nice to sell something for a bit of extra cash but there’s not always a “need” to. >
  
  Well, we think that's a bit of a waste! We believe there is always someone out there who can benefit from used items and make better use of them. It's always worth considering the option of selling your used stuff to give someone else the chance to enjoy it. >
  
  Yeah but if your family has a billionaire fortune, why would you need to sell your old PS4 after you bought your new PS5? That implies for them talking with the normal people (insert hypothetical posh barf). >
  
  Then they would keep the ps4 why would they dump it? >
  
  It's true because they might not NEED to as you said but this doesn't mean most of them do. >
  
  How about houses, Ferraris, Louis Vuitton bags, Rolex watches, boats, horses, etc?
