Here is a scenario that actually happened a few years ago to a customer of mine. He bought a car but it did not have the Broadcast sheet when he bought it. At a later date he was contacted by the seller who said that he had come across some items (paperwork) while cleaning out his file cabinet. The seller wanted more money, NOT for the paperwork but for THE CAR that he had sold him a few months earlier! He would have been better off to tell the guy he wanted X amount for the Build sheet but he actually said the car was NOW worth more than what he sold it for! He said he would only give up the paperwork if the buyer agreed to pay the additional amount!

Yeah, there are all kinds of people out there and that guy certainly qualifies.....then again, I'm sure some people think the same way about me because I think a BS should be free to the person owning the car if found and a #'s motor or tranny is worth the same as a nice replacement.

I bought a house a while back and after the transaction was complete (I paid full asking price BTW), the seller found the survey certificate and offered to sell it to me for $200.00
This pce of paper was garbage to him, but I told him he could ram it and I'd pay the $500.00 to get a new survey done before I'd give him one red cent for the certificate he had......this analogy seems very similar to someone holding a BS ransom IMO.

.....and yes, before anyone suggests otherwise, I would certainly GIVE someone a BS for a vehicle they owned free of charge and I don't care if it's a Hemicuda.....right is right.
