| Remember how leftist mocked when earlier this year people warned that
the hastily passed Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act granted
overly broad powers to regulate even small businesses and thrift shops?

This handbook will help sellers of used products identify types of
potentially hazardous products that could harm children or others.
CPSC’s laws and regulations apply to anyone who sells or distributes
consumer products. This includes thrift stores, consignment stores,
charities, and individuals holding yard sales and flea markets. -

| Selling old kids books, anything with metal, paint, or plastic that a
kid might use, old clothes or shoes with metal components that a kid
might wear? You know, any of the stuff people routinely sell at yard
sales? Technically, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars
worth of fines. Obviously, it's unlikely the CPSA goons are going to
bust up your yard sale. But putting out a detailed booklet that
reserves the right to do so is hardly encouraging about where the
implementation of this legislation is heading. Reason

But of course, Dahling. It's all about the taxation. Yard sale goods are considered undeclared income by the greedy MFCS Libs.
ReplyDeleteWe had our moving sale last weekend and in the move I discovered a coveted copy of Children's Fairytales (circa 1970's). All the scary stuff we grew up with and so did my kids. I cherished it and boxed it for storage. Horry Clap! What if I had sold it?
BTW, we are officially on the road. Escrow closed, $$$ in bank, and RV on the fast track our of Cali(fuking)fornia.

It's much safer at this point to donate items to a charity and take the tax deduction.
ReplyDeleteAt least now we can get rid of all of those pesky antique shops all over the country.
