I get the impression that the selling of possessions and sharing were a more permanent commitment than visitors to the Harvest Festival buying each other a few extra groceries.
Acts 4:32-35: All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

<<not the Apostles (their "government") who commanded>>
Ananias and Sapphira may have a different opinion.<g>
