You will need this registration to carry on the business of buying, selling, exchanging or otherwise dealing in second-hand goods (second-hand dealer), or lending money on the security of goods (pawnbroker). You can only act as a pawnbroker if your second-hand dealer registration has been endorsed.

Note, you are not required to register if you deal in certain low value goods. Exempt good include:
- clothing, including footwear
- salvaged building material including doors, window frames, tiles, bricks and timber
- domestic white goods, including refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, clothes driers, ovens and ironing presses (but not portable or camping refrigerators or microwave ovens)
