§ 5.12.140. Retained goods to be accessible.  


Latest version.
  • Every secondhand goods dealer must, for a minimum period of twenty days after acquiring the item, during regular business hours, keep accessible and available on the licensed premises, for inspection by any city peace officer, all secondhand goods, purchased or received from any person, before selling, shipping or otherwise disposing of the same. The twenty-day hold period begins the day that all description information required in Section 5.12.110(F) is recorded. Due to storage capacity limitations, a secondhand dealer operating via a kiosk may ship secondhand goods to an offsite, secure location for storage during the required hold period as long as the goods are available for inspection as prescribed by this chapter. Any items found to be recorded as stolen or otherwise subject to a civil or criminal investigation must be shipped to the requesting peace officer with all shipping costs to be borne by the secondhand goods dealer.
