That's right the legislator snuck this thru. It is against the law now to buy or sell used merchandice with cash in LA. www.klfy.com/story/15717759/second-hand-dealer-law
If they get away with this it will spread to other states. Maybe I should have posted in the NBR but since the FG hobby and many others revolve around used stuff I thought I'ld pass this on here. If it gets moved no prob.

What lawmaker in their right mind would agree to that? Neil Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I think the US supreme court might need to get involved here. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

The transaction you refer to might be argued to be a rental not a sale. Now "Pretty Woman" you could argue that he took possestion.

The intent of the law was to stop the stealing of scrap metal. I don't see it? I see a bunch of small business and flea markets closing. Also it gives a financial institute a cut of the transaction, making our dollars worth less.
