Second-hand Goods Sales

1. All goods offered for sale as second-hand must have been sold by retail on a previous occasion.
2. Before selling second-hand goods, you must register with the Council as a dealer in second-hand goods. Evidence of this must be provided to us:
   1. when completing our application process, and
   2. when any permission expires, and
   3. whenever we request.
3. You will not be permitted to sell second-hand goods  unless we have evidence of your valid registration.
4. Check all goods are safe before offering them for sale. If the goods you are selling comply with an acceptable standard - for example, a British / European Standard - they will normally meet the safety requirements.
5. When selling second-hand electrical goods, you must meet legal safety requirements. If you are unsure whether an item complies, it must be inspected by a suitably qualified person before it is offered for sale. Guidance on the sale of second-hand electrical goods is available at Business companion's website
6. Do not sell second-hand electric blankets, as their history, usage, and condition may be unknown.
7. Used furniture must pass safety tests regarding flammability. Guidance is available at the business companion site
