I believe (and am happy to be corrected) that if you are a trader or shop owner that you are required in some States to sell the items tagged/tested or you have to sever the cord. The problem with selling vintage lamps is that the electrics do not comply with current day Aus Standards, so you have no option but to replace the electrics or sell it with the cord severed - which is dumb because buyers want the whole vintage/antique look including the cord and plug. Private sellers do not have this limitation.</P> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:58:41 GMT chippendalevintage 2013-03-22T01:58:41Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Selling-on-eBay/Do-second-hand-vintage-electrical-items-record-players-clock/qaq-p/402253 <P class="mce-p"><SPAN style="font-size: small;">Or is the item OK to be sold&nbsp;with a disclaimer in the description such as: </SPAN></P> <P class="mce-p"><SPAN style="font-size: small;"></SPAN>&nbsp;</P> <P class="mce-p"><SPAN style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;">As this item is a used&nbsp;electrical appliance, a check by a licensed electrician is recommended.</SPAN></P> <P class="mce-p"><SPAN style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"></SPAN>&nbsp;</P> <P class="mce-p"><SPAN style="font-size: small;">Many thanks for answering my query.</SPAN></P> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:20:18 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Selling-on-eBay/Do-second-hand-vintage-electrical-items-record-players-clock/qaq-p/402253 aweb4475 2013-03-21T23:20:18Z
