For all prickly questions like this, just have whoever put the article, used bike, toy, or clothing in the trash isle, on the curb, whatever is common in your city and take a picture of it lieing there as scrap for anyone. Then pick it up. Anyone who asks, boo hoo, my daughter has to wear used dresses or whatever, so what? Make them feel bad if they push it. Its called "throwing the porcupine" back back to them." A common sales techniques is when buyer asks a prickly question like "does the house have 4 bedrooms?" Knowing it does not, you ask them if they really need 4 bathrooms?
