Now that the warmer weather is here, and Strathroy heads into its town wide yard sale day tomorrow, we thought we would offer up some tips for the bargain yard sale shopper. Remember to put safety ahead of savings, especially when buying for kids. Do not buy items if they are banned, damaged, or missing labelling or instructions. Look for labels on products. Some products, such as cribs and car seats, need to have information stating the manufacturer, the model number, and the date of manufacture. Ask the seller about the history of the product, for example: How old is it? How much use has it had? Have any repairs been made to it. Check if the product is damaged. Check for cracks and broken, loose, or missing parts.
