where do i add my VIN #?
 

i got a few things to sell, but i cant find where i can add my VIN # in my edit profiles page.

ttt

looks like u already figured how ;)

For the sake of others (including me) can someone show how?

I found where I put info about my new s2000 (had it a week now :) ) but don't know about the VIN

Im having the same problem

I think you have to be a member and not a guest.

point taken

You dont need to put your VIN in anywhere any longer

So how do we recognize theives from legit guys selling....

You can't, and you never could.

We could, from guys that don't know better...there was a guy selling 03 wheels, but posted an 04 vin....I saw that and even posted the discrepancy, but no one listened and 3 guys got taken....I guess if someone is slick they will get you....

IMO, it doesn't make sense to make the guys not register anymore. now any ricer with a civic can claim ownership. it's not a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying.

Plus what Billman said, it only helped with mental 'red-flags'.

When we did collect VINs they were never associated with a specific account and thus you could never see what the VIN was. It wasn't made public anyway. If you want a VIN go to eBay and look for an S2000 for sale. There is your VIN. A VIN was never a very good way to distinguish owners from non-owners and many people felt it was more information than they were willing to offer.

It was ineffectual, difficult to maintain and other than indicating if someone entered a valid one in their profile offered no information. Also since the VINs weren't actually associated with accounts you couldn't remove it. Lots of work, little gain.

As for selling stuff, I am going to make the For Sale forum members only to post topics. I'm going to get a lot of grief from some people about that change and that's why I haven't really discussed it much. I have my flame suit on. It will happen in the next couple of weeks along with a few other changes that I will announce to members via an update email soon.
