Are there any non-Amazon purchase options?

Are there any non-Amazon purchase options?
Less legendary, but I was there for this one:
Had to rent a truck at the end of college to move myself and two friends out of an apartment. We swung by the main campus on our way out to find, as many know, literally everything you might think of just laying in piles. Since we had extra space in the truck we loaded in around 25 TVs and computer monitors, an air conditioner, and a few decent-quality pieces of furniture. The screens we sold for cash when we got to our destination, and I had the furniture for probably 10 years.
The stuff people through out because it’s inconvenient to keep or transport is mind-boggling.
Conceptually I don’t have a problem with population decline (naturally, not artificially). However practically it’s a big problem that societies are very clearly not taking seriously right now. If we had a stable global or regional support system to ensure that people are cared for even as there are fewer people to do the caring it’d be fine. But as it seems everyone in power is adamantly against that, it’s a big, looming problem.
