Now, I can understand that banks are willing to bid as high as the outstanding mortgage, whereas private individuals who bid are hoping for a better deal. If this pattern keeps up, what will it mean in the long run?

And they probably didn't need half of it to start with. So now they'll sell it at bargain-basement prices for a net total of... what? I hope they got a good deal on red ink.

If you’re planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you’d best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As part of a campaign called Resale Roundup, the federal government is cracking down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products.

The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that’s been recalled by its manufacturer.
