The fate of re-sale

If I had not called my new local re sale store to confirm, I would not have believed this.

So it appears that after Febuary 9th you can no longer buy or sell your kids clothes at a thrift store. Something about lead, here is an excerpt from the article.

You will no longer be able to place used children's clothes or toys into the "stream of commerce" unless you can prove that they've been tested for lead and pthalates. As I and others understand it, that means no selling items without such proof on ebay, CRAIGSLIST, yard sales, and church/organization consignment sales (See if your favorite sales are still scheduled). Of course, that means no buying kids' clothes and toys without certification from these sources either. This act could easily triple the amount that many families pay to clothe their kid until there are enough second-hand items manufactured after Feb. 10 to replenish the second-hand market (and even then it's likely that prices at thrift stores, etc. will be higher due to the added cost of testing them). It will absolutely eliminate the notion of recouping any of the cost of older items through reselling.

For our family, this is a big lige style change. I hardly ever buy the kids clothes new, and because we can get good deals at the local thrift stores, they are able to get numerous clothing items, and we can take our time and shop for things they love.

If you would like to help try to repeal this law, here is the link for more information.
Thanks.
