Why's that? So much of my treasure comes from estate sales etc, they don't make stuff like they used to. I would say 90% of what I own has passed through someone else's hands, and a pretty good chunk of em have themselves passed
It's more common to be wasteful and irresponsible. Literally tons of high quality stuff is thrown in the garbage because people want a shitty plastic one that's more up-to-date and stylish, and more to the point, not used.
The garbage is another great source for treasure :)
