Selling a bike privately...What should the receipt say?
 

Right then,

I am selling my old NSR privately and I want to write a receipt that says sold as seen etc...

Now I wouldn't normally be asking this sort of question as I prefer to try and search for longer myself but I have been very, very lazy and someone is viewing the bike tonight straight after work...it still isn't as clean as it should be either. :shock:


What else should the receipt say?

Is there a 'standard' format for the wording?

I have been told about a receipt format in a thread on the bike chat forum (www.bcf.com I think) but I can't get to that because of the filters at work. I don't even know how old it is so it could take some finding.

Any help would be appreciated. Infact I may even say 'thank you'. :wink:

I'd reckon specifying the number plate, VIN and the fact that it's sold as seen should suffice.

Sign it, get them to countersign it. Keep a copy & give a copy to them. Job done.

I think you mean this post ...

Why would you give them 45 minutes to return it?

:oops: All embarrased now :oops:

I'd do what I said personally, but if you want to cover all angles, anna's post (minus the 45mins crap) is OK too :)

Just a point of information, if you're going to give them 45mins, 1) the bike will last for 45mins and 2) don't put the times on the receipt twice. That's just more paperwork, and paperwork really p****s me off!

Edit: Technically, if they ride away on the bike, then 30minutes later have it brought back on a trailer because it's just dropped the sump plug out of the bottom, it's not in the EXACT same state it left in is it? :D

I was posting up the thread that amnesia had requested from another site ~ just trying to help :roll:

Knew I was asking for trouble when I said that :oops:

Anna I'm sure all replies are welcome :kiss: friends?

Just didn't like the 45 min thing, but I accept that wasn't your idea.

only if you buy me coffee at the Soho meet when I have moved! :wink:
