How can I get a permit to sell used Mattresses?
Hi I sell at the flea market, and I would like to get a permit to sell used mattresses, I heard that you can sell used mattresses as long as you disinfect them.

In most states, used mattresses can be resold as long as they meet certain labeling and processing requirements. Each state has certain requirements for the sale of new–and the resale of used–mattresses.
In general, they usually require used mattresses for sale to be disinfected and permanently marked or tagged with the declaration that the item is used and has been sterilized according to the state requirement. Sometimes the tag will also require a registration number to reference inspections and permits issued by the state. Not all states require tags, however.
You would have to contact your state to see what is required. Generally, that information is obtained from the Department of State Health Services, Regulatory Licensing Unit.
Were they gently used? Everyone would want to get more "bang" for their buck. lol
