To the Editor:

As covered in the Business Notes column by Maria Scandale (“Secondhand Shops Deal With New Rule for Valuables Sales,” 1/14), new regulations in Barnegat and Stafford Township cover everything we buy, from dinnerware to doilies to Victorian clothing to books, A to Z, at every price range.

If you bring something in to sell me, I must take your photo and send it to the police, to be uploaded to a national database.
