Will it be reported by MSM that any US Garage Saler be fined $100K or more?

On the positive side, every garage sale I've even been involved with cleared hundreds of thousands of dollars, so these fines should be no problem....

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.

The "Resale Round-up," launched by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, enforces new limits on lead in children's products and makes it illegal to sell any items that don't meet those limits or have been recalled for any other reason.

The strict standards were set in the 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act after a series of high-profile recalls of Chinese-made toys.

The standards were originally interpreted to apply only to new products, but now the CPSC says they apply to used items as well.

"Those who resell recalled children's products are not only breaking the law, they are putting children's lives at risk,” said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "Resale stores should make safety their business and check for recalled products and hazards to children."

In order to comply, stores, flea markets, charities and individuals selling used goods — in person or online — are expected to consult the commission's 24-page Handbook for Resale Stores and Product Resellers (pdf) and its Web site for a breakdown of what they can't sell.

... I'm tempted to create a Q. about what aspect of modern American life this Administration doesn't want to take over, but for the life of me, I can't think of what it might be. C2R, perhaps you can elighten us about what part of life the government doesn't have A Better Plan for than us lowly citizens would come up with on our own...

Wait until the PPTC comes into being. That's the Personal Procurement Tracking Card which will report exactly what a consumer purchases to the government. It is well known that there is an enormous effort to reduce obesity in the U.S., so if too many Reese's Pieces appear on your account you will be warned to scale back or face a stiff fine which will involuntarily curtail your purchasing power.

I know of some lemonade stands that could be a little more patriotic by donating proceeds to a "better" cause. . .

Then, after the lemonade stand donates their proceeds to the better cause, they can do this:

Hawaii businesses to be hit with soaring unemployment tax
Unemployment insurance payment of $90 surging to at least $1,040 per worker

Hawai'i's employers will face a stunning jump in unemployment taxes next year, with the average amount paid per employee increasing to at least $1,040 annually from the $90 paid now.

The state said the dramatic rise in rates will take effect in April and comes as Hawai'i's unemployment trust fund plunges toward insolvency. The state has been paying out more in jobless benefits than it collects in unemployment taxes because of the slumping economy and jump in unemployment.

"We'll be insolvent, but we won't be bankrupt," said Darwin Ching, director of the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, explaining that the state has a plan to nurse the fund back to solvency in 2011.
