The problem it solves
These machines sell badly because buyers cannot verify anything. No history, no records, a badge that means nothing and numbers nobody has ever looked at. The seller then has to discount to compensate for uncertainty they could have removed for free.
Everything in this library that you filled in while owning the machine becomes an asset when you sell it. A service log, a parts-that-fitted page, a fault log with entries and resolutions — those turn an unknown quantity into a documented one, and documented machines command more and sell faster.
The second half is the paperwork, which is where these sales most often fall apart. A buyer who has read the inspection checklist in this library will ask for the title in your name and check the VIN against it before doing anything else. Having that ready is the difference between a sale and a wasted afternoon for both of you.
And the part nobody thinks about: removing yourself from the machine. Not just personal belongings but anything that ties it to you — paperwork left under the seat, a phone number on a sticker, a tracker or alarm registered to your account.
The mistakes this sheet exists to prevent
- Advertising before locating the title and checking the VIN matches it.
- Throwing away service records because "nobody asks", which is exactly why the machine is worth less.
- Describing faults vaguely, which costs more in haggling than describing them plainly would have.
- Leaving personal paperwork or an account-linked alarm on a machine you have sold.
- Not photographing the VIN and the odometer at handover, which is your record of what you sold.
Who it is for
- Anyone selling a scooter, moped or ATV
- Owners who have kept records and want to use them
- Anyone who has had a sale fall through over paperwork
What is on it
- Paperwork to locate before advertising

- What to remove from the machine
- A handover record for both parties
How to use it
- 01Find the title and check the VIN against the machine before you advertise.
- 02Gather every record you kept. They are the reason the machine is worth more than a comparable one.
- 03Describe the faults plainly in the advert. It costs less than haggling over them later.
- 04Photograph the VIN and the odometer at handover, and note the date and time.
