REI Used Gear Sales- no more Sleeping bags? - 09/09/13 10:45 AM

Those of us in California will not be able to get a nice used Sleeping bag at REI used gear sale at least not in Mtn. View, CA.
Big white board sign stating that due to New TAG Rules, they can no longer sell sleeping bags, pad, or cots.
Something about Tag Law on Bedding / Material Fill types( Fiberfill, Down). Posted no sleeping bags, Pads , Liner or cots being sold here due to this.

Well I been to enough Used gear sales were some did have tags, why can't they sort these out and sell them with a waiver of some sorts?

Because it's California. wink

I don't know much about tagging laws, but it would seem that it would not be untoward to have them apply only to new products in this situation.
