As used in this chapter, a "secondhand dealer" is any person, partnership, corporation, association, joint venture, trustee, court appointed representative or agent thereof which operates a business for profit which buys, sells, possesses on consignment for sale or trades jewelry, stamps, coins or any precious metals which may have been previously owned by a consumer; or which derives more than thirty five percent (35%) of its gross receipts from the sale, consignment for sale, pledge or trade of any goods, wares or merchandise which have previously been owned by a consumer, including, but not limited to, furniture, appliances, clothing, automobile accessories, books or metals, whether in bulk or manufactured state. The term secondhand dealer shall include businesses commonly known as pawnbrokers, swapshop operators, stamp dealers, coin dealers and jewelers who purchase and resell items from persons other than dealers and suppliers. The fact that any business does any of the following acts shall be prima facie proof that said business is a secondhand dealership:
(A) Advertises in any fashion that it buys or sells secondhand or used items. Such advertisements shall include, but are not limited to, media advertisements, telephone listings, and signs whether on the exterior or interior of the business.
(B) Devotes a significant segment or section of the business premises to the purchase or sale of secondhand or used items. (Ord. 1114, 8-19-1986)
