I went ot one sale last saturday and the lady had prescription meds for sale. She had torn off her name on the container but left the med name and instructions. :o

anybody else see some strange things for sale? ???

(by the way half her meds were for serious constipation, guess thay worked :laughing7:)

I have to admit I have never went to a yard sale for any type of relief like that :tongue3: It is amazing what you find sometimes though, used underwear for sale always makes me wonder what people are thinking.

Correct me if I am wrong but selling prescription medications could land you in JAIL!

the ones folks would want to by are the pain killer , get high drugs -- not the crap yourself silly ones -- ;D but a perscription drug is a perscription drug -- and unless i'm wrong it illegal as heck to sell em or even give em away for free to another --basically use em or dump em in trash / flush em .

I saw something silly at a yard sale a while ago. Somebody wrote 3 piece chicken dinner on a ring sized box it had 2 kernels of moldy corn inside. They wanted $3.00 for it :dontknow:.

Ivan you are correct,infact it is illegal as hell to have your prescription pills in anything other then the bottle they came in.... let me clarify this... It is only illegal if you have them in a public place also illegal if you have prescription pills on your persons that isn't your name

never noticed anything like that at yard sales,
however I Have seen

prilosec OTC being sold at a flea market stand.
They had cardboard boxes stacked full.

I Would think even selling Asprin at a yard sale or flea market
would be pushing the laws.

uh if the names been "removed" whos say their her meds ???-- she might be a illegal type house "cleaning" person that "cherry" picks meds up outta a elderly persons trash when they dump their old / outta date / no longer needed meds :wink:

not knowing a from b --she just puts them "all" up for sale -- get high junkies come by and pick up any pain meds they can find "for sale" and she pockets the extra cash * as a "house cleaning bonus"

often very ill old people near the end of life stage) are given very powerful opuim based "pain killer type meds"---however one of the side effects of taking a lot of opium based pain meds meds is --yep -- constapation.
