I think the action of the police has gone too far and overdone. The Consumer Law defines two parties - the Consumer and the Entrepreneurs. In this case I would not define these 2 men as entrepreneurs. If they were traders, then their primary activities would be to trade, sell or service iPads as a business. They are simply owners of this iPads wanting to sell off their personal stuff.
What if I wanted to sell my LCD TV, mobile phones or fridge that I currently owned and I advertised it either online or in the local newspapers. Added to this, I have already thrown away the instruction manuals and my mobile phone was bought in Singapore. Would this constitute an offence under the Consumer Law? These are personal items that I owned and wish to get rid because I am going to replace it with new models. Does the Consumer Law now defines me as an entrepreneur? I think the police should focus their attention on traders, distributors, retailers and manufacturers instead of owners who owned or bought these items.
By the way, I am thinking of selling off my LCD TV because I wanted to upgrade in buying a LED TV. Goodness I now have to find where is the Indonesian instruction manual for this LCD TV.
