Would you

Jeff,

Thanks for adding you thoughts to this thread - BUT - you didn't say whether you would buy it and why?

> What about local laws regarding soliciting?
> Might you run into a snag here?

Local laws are easily covered by a disclaimer: "Before selling door-to-door we advise to check with your local authorities for any necessary permits and/or licenses"

Whether you get a permit, even if it's needed, is totally up to you. And if you find you do need one, depending on what type of person you are, you could very well use thelack of a permit as another reason to keep sitting on your butt.

In all reality, Jeff, no-one (the public) really cares about "hawking" permits... I doubt they even know whether permits are required or no in their area...

Does each scout have one when they come knocking to do odd jobs? Do all of those collecting for the red-cross have one? What about the school kids selling candy to raise money for this or that? Or those people soliciting sponsorship money? Or that guy pushing the mower looking for mowing work?

And the local authorities have better things to do than rush around the streets trying to find someone knocking on doors trying to sell something. Maybe, if it was a sever problem, then the authorities would establish a "body" just for that purpose. But because door-to-door is hardly done (no one wants to do it, they would rather be underwear wearing kitchen table millionaires), the chances are good you could do it without getting a permit, even if you needed one.

I'm not saying you should do it without the proper paper-work. Just that it could be done.

As with all things in life... it's YOUR CHOICE to comply with the rules.

Now, would YOU buy a hotsheet like this?
