Holyman Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Haven't talked with you guys in a while so it's nice to stop in and see what's up. Got a kinda neat story about an eBay sale. Many of you know I had a Blaster I was parting out. I sold most everything except the frame. Put it on eBay listed as frame with title. Sold it pretty quickly and the guy paid right away. A couple days later I wrap it all up and find a small ding in the frame so I let the guy know and he said he didn't want it because he was buying it for a friend and the friend wanted one in perfect shape. So I refund the money. And relist it. It's on there about 4 days and eBay kicks it off and says I can't list a frame only with a title. Gotta be a complete ATV that is running or can't sell it. So I argue {as most of you know I can} until I'm blue in the face telling them how retarded that is but they say no way to relisting it. Anyway... about a week later I get a call from the friend who the guy was going to get it for. No biggie, money is money and I send it down the road. Well I come home from work 2 days ago from work and there's a message on the machine from the State Police and they want to know who I sold the frame to. After tracking thru my papers and extensive discussions with the inspector, it turns out my frame was used on a stolen quad and it came back as my frame which was clearly documented on eBay as ONLY a frame. Anyway this guy rips off quads and buys frames with titles and then swaps the frames for the stolen frame. Turns out he sells alot of parts too. All I gotta say is that I'm glad my stuff has titles and it's all legit and registered. They have more dirt on this guy than a NewYork phone book and they are planning to throw the book at him. Quote
RNBRAD Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Funny how those things can come back to haunt you. Reminds me when my dad bought a new car, traded in his old car and left the tag on it. Some guy bought it from the dealer and for whatever reason my dad's tag was still on it. Well this guy decides to steal gas and run. Well sherrif ended up at my dad's house since the tag was traced to him. He tells them the story, so they continue looking for the guy. Then the guy does a hit and run. Guess what? Sherrif shows up at my dad's house again. Anyway the eventually caught the guy but just never amazes me what people try to pull off. Quote
thegroup Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 holy shit, thats fucked up. thank god for titles and doc. Quote
Gargamel Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 it makes no sence, You'd think they'd want you to sell it with proof of ownership? but then again maybe that is why they don't allow frames w/ titles?? Who knows Quote
NYUK Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 they will let you sell frames, just not with the word TITLE in the heading or description.i have sold many many frames on e bay. they took a frame down i had listed because it said, BANSHEE FRAME WITH TITLE. Quote
Ls7colorado Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 I dont have a title for mine, I bought it from the guy who bought it new so it was 1 owner. He has the papers were yoiu can send off and get the title but thats it. Wonder how I could get a title? Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Don't think I really have a title on mine either... Don't think any of my friends do. We all just have them registured with colorado OHV tags. Hope thats good enough ... RIPPEN Quote
