Well, now, the socks and shoes I can understand him selling or pawning, or donating to charity. Still, though, he DID need the money, since train and/or bus fares are not cheap(especially with today's gasoline and diesel prices), so unless Wilt had some money saved up somewhere, he'd need to sell something of value to raise the cash. He HAS mentioned having money, or rather, buying stuff for others, so either he gets some sort of government assistance(unlikely)or he actually does get some sort of allowance for the work he does around the house.

But the toothbrush? Uh, no...no one but the most rabid Wilt fangirl is gonna shell out money for a possibly-used toothbrush! You cannot sell a toothbrush if the package has even been opened a bit, let alone if the brush has been completely taken out of the original packaging. You cannot take someone's word that they've never used it, not with all the sickos we have in our society. I would have to assume that Wilt discarded it, figuring he'd never be returning to use it again. The brush WAS in the toothbrush stand, so it had been taken out of the package.
