When I was a kid, my mum couldn't afford to get me new clothes that often, so we got 2nd hand ones from other family members or from charity shops for cheap. In fact, many charity shops rely on donations of clothes for revenue! Also, many clothes are sent overseas to poverty-stricken countries where clean and whole items of clothing are a luxury.
Frankly, if it's clean, looks alright and is intact, it's fit for wear. Suggesting to others that it is "never a good idea" is ridiculous! You might have your high standards, but not everybody cares or can afford to care. I'd rather people exchange old clothes than fill up landfill sites with perfectly serviceable garments.
I'm sorry, I didn't intend to offend anyone. I don't have high standards. My beliefs are this way because I had them ingrained into my mind from a very young age.
I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to not buy 2nd hand clothes for whatever reason - I just don't think you should be advising others not to. It makes for a more economical world when we reuse and recycle materials.
I'm still sorry. I always believed what I was taught to have been based on fact. Then again, I taught this by a liar. I never had a reason to believe otherwise because no ever told me the truth. As I stated before, I never intended to offend anyone.
Is it normal I log in to ebay every day?
