Things you need to know when organizing a garage sale
You want to eliminate stuff you are no longer using and make some money at the same time? Organizing a garage sale in you yard is probably the best solution. Here are some things you need to know as a vendor to organize a good garage sale. If you have decided to hold a garage sale you will be legally responsible for making sure that all items you'll be selling whether used or new meet the required safety standards. Vendors should avoid selling damaged items but only articles in good condition. In Canada, the law forbids vendors to sell, import, lend, distribute or give away items that fail to meet the conditions required by the Hazardous Products Act.
Items that must meet these requirements include: Baby walkers, baby gates, jewelry containing lead, children's sleepwear made of cotton blends, damages, old or used cosmetics, cribs that are manufactured before the year 1986, hockey face protectors and helmets that ore older than 5 years, lawn darts, strollers and carriages manufactured before 1985, broken toys, etc. Garage sales should not represent any sort of danger to people who have a passion for garage sale bargains. If you keep that in mind, your garage sale has all the chances to be a successful one.
