I already tend to get rid of sellables after 99, so I'll gain a spot or 2 from things like beastmen tribal tokens but that's it.
Indeed the problem isn't quantity of single items but the quantity of how many items are in the game. Between glamour and crafting materials alone there is enough in this game to easily fill 7 Retainers, and that is not counting materials that only serve to make other materials or High-Quality versions of all those materials. Mind you glamour only takes up every slot on 1 Retainer if you try to get unique glamour for all 26 classes but still...
