Garage Sellers Beware!
If you hold, or enjoy shopping at yard/garage sales, you need to be aware that the Feds are watching you!
"The crackdown affects sellers ranging from major thrift-store operators such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army to everyday Americans cleaning out their attics for yard sales, church bazaars or - increasingly - digital hawking on eBay, Craigslist and other Web sites.

Secondhand sellers now must keep abreast of recalls for thousands of products, some of them stretching back more than a decade, to stay within the bounds of the law.
Staffers for the federal agency are fanning out across the country to conduct training seminars on the regulations at dozens of thrift shops."
Goodwill may have to raise their prices, so they can afford to pay a person to research recalls!
