	Final good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics final goods are goods that are ultimately consumed rather than used in the production of another good.
		For example, a car sold to a consumer is a final good; the components such as tires sold to the car manufacturer are not; they are intermediate goods used to make the final good.
		Consumer goods are exactly the same as final goods, but with the subtle difference that they are specifically intended for the mass market.

	Sale of Consumer Goods
		Under the Directive the seller of consumer goods is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity which exists when the goods are delivered to the consumer.
		The objective of the Regulations is to maintain existing levels of consumer protection and therefore where the Directive potentially allows for a lower level of consumer protection or dilution of existing provisions those provisions have not been implemented as permitted by Article 8(2) of the Directive.
		This is the article that allows for the exclusion from the definition of consumer goods of second-hand goods sold at auction where consumers have the opportunity to attend the sale in person as such exclusion would lessen the current level of consumer protection.
