He makes a good point. Kinda makes you wonder. If some family members or friends wouldn't want used items or clothes, why would it make sense for a complete stranger to want and accept it? Sounds odd to expect people to be happy with someone's leftovers. It almost implies they don't deserve or are not worth the money that would be used to purchase something new. Buy the new for ourselves but not for them. Yeah, sounds not so nice when you think of it in that light. I think it does make you question the concept of "giving." What does it mean to give in a significant way which is truly considerate and beneficial to others and not just about making ourselves feel good.
