Another question????

Another question????
« on: November 01, 2011, 08:53:17 PM »
I might have asked this in another topic. What if you find a motorcycle or vehicle of some kind. Can the origional owner get you for theft? I mean they hold the origional title right? How do you make it yours? I live in Houston. Not sure if the laws are different in other places.

What about guns. Can you just sell them without getting them registered? How does that work?

You would have to look in the laws in Texas.  For vehicles it is possible to get a salvaged title.  You have to first get the vehicle declared abandoned, etc.  This isn't Auction Hunters however, and the chances of you finding a car, etc. is very very slim.  Parts and pieces to a motorcycle or maybe even a non-running cycle are better odds.

Guns are the same thing.  For us in GA you don't have to register the firearm.  However, it would be very smart to have a police officer run the serial # to make sure the weapon isn't stolen before you sale it.  I know California has to go through a registered dealer for all sales.  Each state is different.

Unless you are real lucky in your first year you will not run into this issue.  I know people that have been buying lockers for 10+ years and can count on 1 hand the number of guns they have found.

Be more concern about other weapons like brass knuckles, chucks, etc., if those can be sold.  I've gotten a slapjack, pair of brass knuckles, a homemade pair of metal chucks, a set of wooden chucks, 2 thorwing stars, short sword, short spear, various pocket knives, etc.

Actually it is not a salvaged title, its a bonded title. And what you will end up paying to get the title registered is 10% of the value of the vehicle, (you will have to take it to 3 different dealers, the tax office will always use the higher price, which is BS. Plus you will need to go get the title itself bonded which is usually only like $100. Depends on the value though. But most used cars will be $100 for the bond. After that you will have a bonded title for 3 years. Then you can get a free and clear title. Its a true pain in the ass to have to keep doing it over and over again. Just did this with a 99 Blazer.
A little note as well, after you get the bonded title you should be able to sell it with out a problem if you wish to do so, since the bonded title is transferable.
