Basically for many categories just go into enthusiast spaces. Audiophiles for headphones. Or a boating club for boating equipment.... you get the gist of it 😂

For a few categories the exclusivity to rich people is the point. They charge so much money because customers like that you are excluded. This is true for e.g. art, mosaic craftsmen, jewlery, watches are a famous example, partially in clothes. Real estate is a big one in this category. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Is there a solution for planned obsolescence?

Electronics is hard bc there just isn't something better than what everyone buys for many categories.

But clothes is easy - you buy the manufacturers that one has to be in the know or the few brands that still do high quality. E.g. workwear, leather, denim this is easy to find

Furniture too. If you buy ikea trash, that's your own fault. Go find a carpenter.
