Wealthy people don’t mind spending big $$$ for rare or very pricey items, but if a bottle of perfume, for instance, is available for $100, they’re not going to spend $1000 for the same stuff.
Weathy people are often penny pinchers. They’re not going to spend huge $$$ for cabinets, pillows or end tables.

And, we’re not talking about luxury items like perfumes or rare books that do command stratospheric prices because of scarcity or other factors. There are endless examples, but it’s a red herring.
The item in question is a utility-grade storage cabinet. Not an “armoire” as one news site described it, it’s an item that sells for a couple hundred bucks anywhere. THey are not “industrial” or anything of the kind, and that explanation falls apart when considering other items. Who ever heard of an “industrial child’s bedroom lamp” or an “industrial pillow”?
Trying to argue that the presence of multiple childrens names is some kind of glitch or coincidence stretches credibility way past the breaking point.
As I posted earlier, there are some who believe these items were not attempts to traffic in children per se, but videos of children. Pedophiles pay the “special price” and find a little something extra in the Wayfair package.
You are correct. Many wealthy people get to be that way precisely because they are penny-pinchers.
