babaefirst asked:

We’ve got some broken electronic kid toys and was wondering if its okay to sell at a garage sall as “as is.” My sister notes that you never know because people who are looking may know how to fix some things.

HEAR TO HELP on 8 May, 2008 at 10:09 pm #

as long as ppl are aware that the toys do not work and have no chocking hazards on them

Sure, it’s your sale - sell whatever you want. Just don’t lie and tell people that it works if it doesnt.

It is definately ok to do this IF you let the people that look at them know in advance what is wrong with it, what doesn’t work and that it is a final sale AS IS. It’s not your problem weather they can fix it or not, only to let them know that there is a problem.

**Like the lemon law with cars.**

The gizmo they need to fix something.
The gizmo they need to make few bucks your sister is right you might just have the gizmo they need to make few bucks your sister is right you might just have the gizmo they need.
The items dont work dont see the harm in trying to fix something.

I wouldn’t sell them, but if you would like to give them a new home you could put them in a free box.
