do you have the sled registered and insured under yourself? have you ever been given grief about the VIN?Shrek, I came across this thread as I was also recently approached by this same company out of Sherwood park to buy my sled that I currently got for sale. Seemed really sketchy at first as I am always hesitant to sell not to the actual buyer, but this guy tells me he has a buyer in Yellowknife he plans to ship the sled to, change the seat to a 2-up for his grandchildren (its a 2018 axys 800 155...) so didn't even seem like the right sled. Came to look at it and didn't even ask to start it or look inside the hood at all. Left me a deposit and said he would do a certified cheque (I asked for this as he wanted to insist on a wire but I said no, cash or certified cheque) and I want to see the cheque clear before I release the sled. Which he did agree to.
But now he tells me that my sled has a duplicate VIN... so I'm back in the hesitant column..
Both registered and insured to myself, was never given any grief at the time of registration (last Sept) nor have I ever been notified in any way of this. I shared the VIN with this guy from Joyride for the first time last week which is my only time ever sharing the VINdo you have the sled registered and insured under yourself? have you ever been given grief about the VIN?
yep, I'd be skeptical then too.Both registered and insured to myself, was never given any grief at the time of registration (last Sept) nor have I ever been notified in any way of this.

Guess we will wait and see what he replies with. Not sure how I can get scammed so long as I don't give up the vehicle until a payment clears into my account. What fast ones could they possibly try based on this 'new info' of a potential duplicate VIN?yep, I'd be skeptical then too.
Will do, can keep you posted on how it plays out. I'd like to restore some faith in this new world... so hope it does work out as well100% wait for payment to clear, i have been approached by them numerous times, never had a deal go through. I think they operate as a freelancers. Always someone willing to pay 30% interest on a loan but as long as the payment is cheap i guess its a good deal
Have sold some vehicles to exporters and easy transactions
Like to see this play out with a positive outcome for you
Ya good luck with the restoring that faith, i see more people falling off the bus on a consistent base.Will do, can keep you posted on how it plays out. I'd like to restore some faith in this new world... so hope it does work out as well
Exactly why I did not want to accept a wire or e-transfer. I plan to meet them at the bank to watch the draft be pulled out, then also wait until it clears into my account, before I let the sled leave my garage. I'm sure it is overkill but I don't have the ability to lose out on thousands of dollars these days. (or any day for that matter..!)One thing to be aware of is, I have heard a situation where a guy paid for a item, everything cleared and looked legit, then somehow later on they revoked the payment?!
I think this was an Etransfer situation, and maybe not an issue anymore, but something to consider
Same here. They finally came to grab the sled after a few days of trying to coordinate the pick-up over the holidays. Deal is done now.Awesome, glad that worked out for you
