Do consumers who are selling a used second-hand product have to make sure that it complies with the mandatory standard?

Answer:
No. Only businesses supplying second-hand products in trade or commerce have to ensure they meet safety requirements. But if you are selling or giving away a second-hand product it is wise for the protection of others to ensure the product has:

• all parts in good working order
• instructions for assembly
• instructions for safe use

For more information about used goods and product safety visit Product Safety Australia.

We always like to encourage new and interesting stall holders at the Bentleigh Sunday Market. So we are happy to recommend Native Bliss, who display a huge range of hand made soaps. They smell great and look good enough to eat!

Look for this stall at our market on the second Sunday of the month. They have also donated some soaps to be used in our Golden Ticket promotion. Thanks.

Back by popular demand, The Untouchables, will be entertaining us this Sunday, July 13. Stop in for a listen.

What a beautiful winter morning we had today. A full market of stallholders and shoppers and a few GOLDEN TICKET HUNTERS!

The hunt paid off for one young man who found the Golden Ticket on stall #34, long time regular, Helena from Helena’s Curiosity Shop in the Centre Road Arcade. Traveling all the way from Nobel Park, the searcher found the prized ticket at approx 8:40. The reward was $50 in vouchers from The Bentleigh Party Shop and YaMama frozen yogurt shop.

Next week, the hunt continues with a new hidden location, and a new $25 value prize. Stay tuned for details and clues.
