(...) Hmm... Just goes to show how idiotic, ignorant, and totally useless government is when when it is too big, too powerful, and has too much money. "You're under arrest, Mr. Sanburn." "What?!?

Ugghhhhh! Until someone (who can afford to lose!) challenges these laws, sites like eBay are going to become little more than online professional flea markets. I pity the cyber-granny that attempts to auction off some antique only to be slapped with (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

Oops. Massachusetts is a Commonwealth. Chapter 100 also exempts "casual and isolated sales by an owner", small comfort that that is. (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
