I have no idea why this is wrong or illegal - I don't think it is. To single out Kube, his comments elude me. And, I can't understand Ryan's position for not allowing their sale or trade. Since I have a 33/34 Ford, I would love to find an ORIGINAL 34 Ford title to hang on the wall. (And, no, I don't need it for registration, my car is already registered.)
This is one (ownership of titles) of many laws that is not typically enforced.
However, should the enforcement be required for whatever reason, the law is there.
As far as Ryan not allowing their sale... smart man. Ryan has apparently chosen to stay out of any possible repercussions that may have come from sales facilitated on his website.
Most likely the same reason eBay does not allow the sales.
As one can't technically OWN a title, a title can't be sold. Pretty simple really. You can't sell what isn't yours.[/QUOTE]



Kube, Are you going to the Jefferson swap meet? If you are there, you will find a vendor selling titles. He also was talking to the local sheriff last time I passed. He makes sure you are selling titles for collection purposes and if you buy one, he will also sell you a collectible unstamped VIN plate. All while the law is watching. He knows what is legal and what isn't and lets the law know also. What you do with it is not his problem.
