Please note that the main objective of the Association is to provide protection to all our members under the Second-hand Dealer’s act and to secure benefits in terms of exemptions when passed. The Association has been in constant talks and meetings with the police trying to get exemptions for our dealers and allowing everyone to do business with ease. The Association will assist you with any issues you may have with the act, however, it is up to each member to make sure they understand the act and are compliant with the act. Members are invited to supply stories related to their genre to be added to the website. The story must be original and be supplied with high-resolution images of the item/items.
