Virginia law § 18.2-218 prohibits the advertisement or sale of defective, secondhand, or irregular goods without clear indication. Violators face a Class 1 misdemeanor. Additionally, using the term 'wholesale' or 'wholesaler' falsely in advertisements is also a misdemeanor unless the business is genuinely engaged in wholesale selling.
Sellers must clearly indicate if goods are secondhand, irregular, or defective in their advertisements or offers to avoid legal violations.
Violators can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, which may include fines or other legal penalties.
No, using 'wholesale' or 'wholesaler' falsely in ads is illegal unless your business is genuinely engaged in wholesale selling.
Yes, Virginia law § 18.2-218 is active, but § 18.2-219 has been repealed and is no longer in effect.
