Mom Balks After Once Upon A Child Refuses Her Used Clothes—Until She Has Her Husband Try

TikToker and mom @lifewithdanimaj was miffed after the used kids' clothing and toy store rejected the clothes she tried to sell them—but then she sent her husband in with the exact same items, only to have the store accept them.

Anyone who has tried to resell clothes, purses, and other products at locations like Once Upon a Child, Plato's Closet and other similar consignment shops can all agree that the process is inconsistent at best.

Because these stores are not communicative about what they're looking for, what their quality standards are, and what they're willing to spend in a day, it's an immense guessing game for the families who are trying to declutter their homes and make a little cash along the way.


TikToker Dani (@lifewithdanimaj) recently shared that she took a bin of used clothes to Once Upon a Child, only for the entire bin to be rejected.

Dani wanted to try an experiment to see if the rejection had something to do with her, so she sent her husband in with the same bin of clothes, only for him to return with a completely empty bin and $48 in his pocket.

Upon returning to the car, Dani's husband playfully fluttered the money into the car and said:

"Got some cash monies!"

Upon posting the video, Dani included a caption:

"WOW!! Once Upon a Child, you have some explaining to do!!!"

Some TikTokers joked about calling Once Upon a Child out for only buying the clothes from Dani's husband.

As much as we might want to laugh at Dani's situation, with Once Upon a Child "choosing" her husband's delivery over her own, it seems like this is a common issue for families who are trying to resell clothes at Once Upon a Child, Plato's Closet and other similar consignment shops.

The core issue seems to be a lack of transparency around what these stores are looking for in a product, how much money they're willing to spend on buying products per day, and how much of a budget they have left for a day.

If these stores were more communicative about what they were looking for and gave proper guidelines to the public, then families could better prepare what they are trying to resell. Then, for those pieces that do not get picked up, a parent might try to resell it on another day, understanding that it might have been more of a daily budget issue than a product quality issue.

But in the meantime, the most we can really do is try to resell—and of course, laugh at the absurdity.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
