I agree with the above in regards to Ebay having to take better measures to assure the cars are legal. You cannot legally transfer ownership of a vehicle without a title or registration. You could have paid $100k for it it does not matter. Check the DMV web site in any state it is fairly clear. Ebays way around this is making posters list as for parts only. Problem with this is you can't do so without a salvage license. People pay huge fees to sell used parts to be undercut by someone chopping up or parting out cars. Kind of a grey area.
States like PA are also fighting the flipping issue by having the buyer sign the title and then the current owner sign in front of a notary. This way if you resell without a dealer license there is no way to transfer ownership on the title.
Hey, it goes on every day and yes for years I have also done it. It was just part of buying old cars. But just like removing vin #'s for a resto is now coming to be a problem so is ownership.
