Don't you think maybe that's because they don't want to believe that, on account of the fact that they don't want to sell their stuff?

Wrong.  Jesus was broke and homeless yet he didn't need help from anyone. He said to consider the birds and lilies, they don't worry about where their next meal is coming from because God provides for them.  Do you not believe God will provide for you if you wander the world doing good works and preaching the gospel?  What do you need beyond food and clothing?  What do you need that the Lord will not provide?  So yes you'll be poor but no you won't be in need of material goods from others.
Jesus was the ultimate sponger.  He lived off of his rich friends and gifts from hookers.  When he needed a place to stay he just told the mark that he was moving in for a couple of days.  When he needed a ride he told his minions to go steal one.
