The second hand goods market is great for picking up a bargain – but do your homework because you don’t have the same consumer rights when buying from private sellers.

Do they have proper contact information? Listen to our podcast with Tom Chapman, Consumer Protection Officer in the Kimberley for more information and more tips – and if unsure, dial before you buy. Consumer Protection can give you more advice on what to look out for.
