To show Obama’s gestapo that you are aware of their power and control over your yard sale, each yard sale should prominently display a Nazi swastika flag over their yard sale.

When I get around to holding my yard sale the last thing I’ll do is contact the Feds to ask what I can or cannot sell. They may KMWA.

I wonder what constitutional power gives the government the right to regulate a private yard sale? Oh, I forgot the constitution is now a “living document” and the states are nothing more that administrative districts of the imperial.. uhh I mean federal government.

Sounds like some states should pass laws protecting yard-sales the same way Montana just did protecting firearms manufacture, sales, and posession. A yard-sale isn’t interstate commerce.

If any of these government slugs happen to read this, I’d like to invite them to shove it up their @$$. They can never possibly enforce it. Such dimwitted over-reaching regulation does nothing but undermine respect for the law.

So is there a handbook on what to do when you go to the dump to unload your trash and there are people that snatch stuff before you can throw it into the bins that don't speak English so you can tell them what's wrong with the stuff you are throwing away?
Wow, extreme run on sentence. Where's the grammar nazis?

CPSC’s laws and regulations apply to ... thrift stores, consignment stores, charities, and individuals holding yard sales and flea markets. Ain't life in a totalitarian country just grand? Just until you see what's coming down the road next.

I think that micromanagement with vast hyper-regulation of a local yard sale MAY slightly overstep the Constitutional powers granted to the federal government.
Just a TINY little bit unconstitutional.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
The
only not-so-bleak aspect of these laws/regulations is that the law seems to require
knowing violations (i.e., it only applies if you sell a product that you
know is not safe.
Still seems like overstepping, still seems open to abuse, and still shouldn't be a Federal issue (though, under the currently-prevailing Commerce Clause jurisprudence, the Courts certainly wouldn't stop it from being one). But, I'm not sure this will practically be as much of a disaster as some think it might be.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
Don’t know about those holding a yard sale, but I’d certainly consult the thing before giving a toy or other item to a kid.

So the goobermint says it is illegal to sell this highly contaminated auto at your garage sale...
But the same goobermint will give you $4,000 of OPM to take it off your hands, no questions asked.
Goobermint logic at its finest.

Your Yard Sale Is Illegal (seriously: feds now regulate those too)On the positive side, the feds may come up with a way to prosecute the "early birds" to the full extent of the law. The next time we advertise "No Early Birds", WE MEAN IT...

Some enterprising lawyer needs to make up one of those 40-page manuals in 10 languages that come with everything we buy. The kind that tells you all of the dangers that might be involved in the use of the item. Just attach one to every item at your sale.
"Do not stand on this saw while operating."
"Do not use the electric space heater under water."
"This chain saw is not intended to be used to saw down icicles."
"Do not use this concrete saw for slicing meat."

Don’t they want us to recycle? Because that’s what a yard sale is - recycling. We’re just being environmentally friendly, and now they want to punish us for it.
