Well, they need to do their homework a little better.  Yes, there is a 
federal agency that is doing a campaign called Resale Roundup.  They aren't 
targeting garage sales or your local church bazaar.  They are targeting 
resale stores and internet stores.  And why not?  If you are selling 
something that is known to be dangerous and has been removed from the 
shelves of stores, what the heck are you doing selling it anyway?

CPSC is working with NARTS, the Salvation Army and several other 
organizations to "alert re-sellers about recalled products . . ." etc.  AND, 
NARTS (National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops) is in full agreement 
with CPSC about getting recalled products off the market.

Now, as to the little girl in Tulare.  She wasn't doing this in front of her 
house like most kids do.  Her mother packed her up and took her to a busy 
street corner.  The code official was at the corner doing something else 
when he informed them it wasn't *safe* to do that on that corner and that he 
thought they needed a license.  He helped them pack up their stuff and then 
offered to help them find a better place to sell the lemonade.  And the kid 
got what she wanted without having to sell her lemonade -- free tickets to 
Disneyland.

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable friendly.
