Better watch out for undercover federal agents attending your next yard sale.

Americans who slap $1 pricetags on their used possessions at garage sales or bazaar events risk being slapped with fines of up to $15 million, thanks to a new government campaign.

New Government Policy Imposes Strict Standards on Garage Sales Nationwide

nick, make sure you don't put that sweater your granny knitted for you, the one wtih minnie mouse in the pink dress, in your yardsale.

If you do, the Disney police will beat Obama's brown-shirters to the sale and you'll be sued for selling non-licensed Disney products as well.......

no joke, it's happening..........

My own view:

If you bought a fridg for $900 and end up selling it at a garage sale for $50, you have a $850 loss. You didn't "make" $50. Yet many localities are trying to extort sales taxes on the $50. To hell with them.

If you bought a Minnie Mouse doll, then Disney got his cut already. If you now want to unload the over-priced piece of Chinese junk, that is your right.
