But if the success of eBay or even the show “Pawn Stars” is any indication, people are excited to transact in physical things.
While nearly anyone these days can open an account on Robinhood and buy stocks, it carries an air of superiority-like everyone is staring at you for being a newcomer. The stock market has always felt to me like drinking wine or watching a polo match. Last year when I left my job, my fiancee, and my apartment in Chicago and moved onto a 30-year-old sailboat, I asked myself: if I were to sell everything I owned on Craigslist or eBay, how much could I make to put towards the boat? The same question posed to my stock portfolio was easy to answer, but if I decided to liquidate all of my holdings, financial and physical, how would I value my vast collection of random stuff?
