This kid’s parents caught him selling old clothes to his younger brother, and his entrepreneurial spirit is downright inspiring
Once upon a time, no one wanted hand-me-downs. In my family growing up, getting your older sibling’s leftover clothes meant wearing Costco sweatshirts with patches on the elbows. But today’s kids are different—and kids’ fashion has evolved in leaps and bounds. Apparently, hand-me-downs are in high demand now, and one entrepreneurial big brother found an ingenious way to capitalize on that.
In a TikTok video, parents who go by @fullmhouse reveal that they discovered their older son was straight-up hustling his younger brother—by selling him hand-me-down clothes he would eventually have gotten for free.

“Younger bro getting worked 😂” they wrote in the caption. Over the video, they added, “We just found out our oldest son has been selling his younger brother his clothes that he would eventually get for free.”
In the video, younger brother JJ answers his parents’ laughing questions to reveal he bought shirts from his older bro, Reid, for $20.
“I’m actually super impressed by Reid,” Dad says, still laughing. “But here’s the deal. You can’t sell your hand-me-down shirts to JJ. JJ, don’t buy hand-me-downs from Reid anymore.”
In the background, Mom reveals that Reid, with some fresh cash in his pocket, has been shopping for AirPods. Honestly, you have to admire the kid’s chutzpah. When I was his age, I swept a whole lot of decks to buy myself an iPod, and to think I could have been hawking my clothes to my younger siblings instead (JK, my clothes were from Costco, as previously mentioned).
In the video’s comments, other viewers were just as impressed as us.
“We love a Business Man it’s called thrifting lol,” one wrote. Another added, “Honestly he is a business man. Don’t stop this. Teach little bro how to negotiate.”
And many people shared stories of their own kids’ creative attempts at generating income, like this one: “Our son has been asking for double portions in lunch I pack for him because he’s ‘starving.’ Well, found out he was selling items a la carte to other kids.”
Listen, the kids are working for their money. More power to ’em.
