Jarts listing removed

[joe29]

I have a brand new old stock set of Jarts or as we called them Lawn Darts game, never been out of the box, I listed them and ebay pulled them saying they were illegal because considered a weapon.... Tell me if this makes sense, you can sell darts, knives, swords, kitchen knife sets and more but not a vintage set of Jarts.

Well, I don't think so, but then I don't go around making rules to protect people from themselves.  eBay must conform to regulations, as do we all grrr, and so lawn darts are not allowed.  Check out this site  https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/5053.pdf  of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

But do you understand they allow, knives and swords but not lawn darts, does this make sense.

Yes, it's true that the original Jarts are NOT allowed to be sold on eBay. The darts have a metal shaft with a pointed tip that were marketed as a TOY but caused a lot of injuries and several deaths.  They were recalled and eBay enforces that ban.
