Whenever I buy clothes they always end up getting holes quickly, I burn through socks fast, my bags keep breaking, my phones magically shit themselves and my chargers melt. I'm sick of everything being a wear part and I'm wondering where people get things that last.

There's probably a market for a site/service that provides advice to achieve this goal. Here in the UK we have moneysavingexpert and moneysupermarket which are not really doing this job but instead aiming for money saving. Something like these but for long-life goals would probably be a beneficial thing. Essentially services specialising in helping people find long life products instead of just solely low price products, this isn't just useful for saving money but it fits into green agendas too.
