Resale Roundup Ridiculous?

Ahh, the yard sale, a.k.a the rummage sale, the garage sale...sometimes it can be the one place to find that special something...that someone else already used :)

But who doesn't love a good deal, right?  I've gotten older computer parts, monitors, etc, at these types of sales for a little bit of nothing, and many times, people just don't realize what they've got...they just want to get rid of it.

So what if the government stepped in and said there are now hefty fines for reselling certain items deemed unsafe or harmful?  That reality is here. And, they've come up with a top 10 list of recalled products: Resale RoundUp Top Ten

Now this is just the Top 10 list, so before you go to make a few extra bucks on some of your old things (cribs, leg curl machines, wireless devices, washers and more!), make sure you visit the site to avoid fines and even potential litigation.  Any recalled items on the site can cost you up to $100,000 per infraction!  Check out the recall section of the site here:  Product Recalls.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about safety, but is this going too far?
