If the owner dies, it is passed on to the next bastard in line unlucky enough to be born there.
Kids don't leave home until they marry - if at all, etc
You know the story.
The reason it's a "waste" is because the going rate is higher than in Sweden for two reasons.
Swedish people die, or sell their big house for an apartment when the kids move out, they get rid of things for practicality nothing.
In southern countries, people hold on to things and will give them away to family before selling, so there is a smaller supply pool of tools for sale.
The second reason is the por business mentality of sellers in general.
He will look for maximum profit, and ask the highest price he can.
Even if it is way beyond what the market can support, takes three years to sell and he has to load/unload, pack/unpack, and load/unload every time he sets up his stall with the same old shit.
