Question about buying and selling and a BOS

[NitroxBoss]

I am starting a new thread because I didn't want to trash this guys sale thread.

He says selling for a friend and his friend wants:

"FTF COS area, he has requested a BOS with DL #, name, and address signed by the buying."

My question is just to make it a little easier for this person I do not know to steal my identity shouldn't I also provide my SS# and while I and paying $1000 in CASH so he knows now that I have money and valuables and my ADDRESS!

Maybe I just can give him the actual credit cards when he comes to my house?

I don't have a problem showing my CCW to allow the seller to comply with state law, but I don't think there is a gun deal good enough for me to do this unless the seller is doing the same and showing me they are bonded and insured to at least 4 million in case they mishandle my private information and I end up damaged as a result.

Anyone else worry about just handing out copies of such personal information?

Thanks for any input

This thread along with the other two a week that come up on this same subject all end the same. Its up to the seller to make the rules on his ad. If you dont like it move one. Simple as that, no need to start ANOTHER thread about how you dont agree with a BOS.

Seller sets the rules on his ad, end of story

OP,

Under your USER CP, go to 'Trading Post' option and click the 'Ignore All Bill of Sale' option. That way you won't waste your time on the BOS required posts.

Yep, that's why I don't even see any of them anymore

MB888, I looked and looked for that button. You wouldn't believe how much time I spent looking for it.









Just kidding, sure would save some time if there was one like that.

It's not that it is not appropriate, it is just that it has been covered a million times.

Yep, in fact 10000 out of Irving's 11000 posts are on this kind of thread.

I tend to pass on these kinds of sales. If everyone else would just do the same...

I get that the BOS thing has been done to death, I did a search for "identity theft" on this site and get nothing. I get if the buyer wants a bill of sale it is his choice to thin the herd of buyers. I was trying to explore the danger of some one data mining by selling a gun and emptying a bank account at the same time.

Anyway doesn't bother me because I am in the pass on those sales camp also, I just thought it was interested by the detail of private info being asked for, again sorry to unwittingly beat a dead horse.

Too much work to steal identity, and then they know who you are and what you look like. Not to mention that anyone who agrees to a BOS, but doesn't take a copy of their own is retarded.

I don't mind BOS for cars, because it proves I bought it to my insurance company if I wreck it on the way home from the sale. DMV likes them too.
