In Oregon you can charge storage fees as you now doing. When the value of
the storage fee is sufficient to warrant placing a lien on the car you can
obtain a storage lien on the car and either auction the car off to the
highest bidder, or sell it to whoever will pay the asking price (storage
fee). I believe you have to allow a minimum amount of time to pass before
selling the car to allow the owner a final opportunity to redeem the car.
The sale must be advertised publicly by whatever method of public
advertising you choose.
This is a fairly simple process that allows you to issue a new clear title
to the new owner and legitimize the sale of the car to another party.
Be sure you have a copy of ALL e-mail and other documents relating to the
auction, sale of the car, and all requests to pick up the car, and the
buyers responses. I would also save the eBay auction page as well. To do
that just choose FILE and SAVE. Windows should save it to the folder of
your choice.

Hey list. I sold my Triumph TR4A on ebay 6 weeks ago. Got paid in full. Its
a
restoration shop 1000 miles away that bought it. THE GUY WON"T COME AND GET
IT. I mailed the title when the check cleared but the car still sits. Every
time I call the buyer he says this mystery shipper will pick it up in 2
days.
Still the car sits. I just emailed that storage was now $50 per day. NO
RESPONSE.
Do I get a duplicate title and sell the car again.I needed the space not the
money. Any input would be nice.
Thanks.
Dave
