car Boot Sales

Can anyone shed any light on any issues with selling electrical items and a child's car seat?, Or any other no, no's for that matter.

I don't believe there are any rules about selling either.  I've seen hoards of both for sale at car boot sales over the years. 

The general guidance is that you shouldn't buy a child's car seat secondhand, as it might have been involved in an accident and therefore not be safe.  However plenty of people do and its their risk.  It's no different to selling through Trade It or something to a car boot sale.

In terms of an electrical item, if somebody is prepared to buy it without seeing it working it's their risk as to whether it works or not.  If it doesn't, they're not going to be able to track you down

Just as long as u say "sold as seen".
All should be ok.

Surely car boots are sold as seen anyway? You take the risk at car boots, sometimes you'll grab a bargain sometimes you may grab a dud.

I haven't been to a boot sale for years. People sell all sorts of shite, but there are sometimes good finds.

Eh? What do you mean? Could it be resprayed to hide any damage? Maybe it's a cut and shut job?
I would've thought it would be pretty obvious if a child's car seat is fucked.

I once sold a chess set and Guinness slippers to that bloke Rolfy (?) who used to be on that car boot show with Fred Wedlock

You wouldn't know if it had been in an accident. That's the issue.

If it's not damaged,  why would it matter?
