Bill of Sale or ID to complete a private sale question
« on: August 11, 2025, 02:35:23 PM »
Howdy all, there was an interesting discussion on another thread that I wanted to share to get others' perspectives on. The topic was, requiring a Bill of Sale or ID when completing a private sale.

In my case, I exchange information as a measure of caution. At the very least, I can show that I made a sale on a date and that the item is no longer in my control. Is action may be unfounded in the law? A complete waste of effort? Does it dilute the 2A rights?

 One actual event that shaped my position was when we sold a car that was later found on the side of the road by the police. They wanted to hold me responsible for towing and violations and toll violations.

The only item that saved me was a signed BOS proving that I no longer owned the car. The new owner never registered the car in his name.

It would be interesting to hear what others do when completing a private sale and why.
