| 2. Pursuant to the general policies of this Act which require |
good faith not only between the parties to the sales contract, |
but as against interested third parties, subsection (3) resolves |
all reasonable doubts as to the nature of the transaction in |
favor of the general creditors of the buyer. As against such |
creditors words such as "on consignment" or "on memorandum", with |
or without words of reservation of title in the seller, are |
disregarded when the buyer has a place of business at which he |
deals in goods of the kind involved. A necessary exception is |
made where the buyer is known to be engaged primarily in selling |
the goods of others or is selling under a relevant sign law, or |
the seller complies with the filing provisions of Article 9 as if |
his interest were a security interest. However, there is no |
intent in this Section to narrow the protection afforded to third |
parties in any jurisdiction which has a selling Factors Act. The |
purpose of the exception is merely to limit the effect of the |
present subsection itself, in the absence of any such Factors |
Act, to cases in which creditors of the buyer may reasonably be |
deemed to have been misled by the secret reservation. |
