Description: Hi,
Pardon me for making a irrelevant topic in this forum, this is not a sale or buying post. I guess this forum is more active than others. That's why I am posting here.
I am a foreigner. I am looking for a used hybrid bike. I contacted several sellers on tori.fi and facebook marketplace. None of them had buying receipts. So, I asked them to show bike frame number before meeting. Some of them refused to show and some of them stopped contacting me.
My question is, is it normal in Finland to ask for bike frame number/ID before meeting? If they do not have receipt nor they want to show frame number, how can I be sure the bike is not stolen*? Should I buy a used bike blindly?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.
*Well, I can't be sure if the bike is stolen by having the frame number only. But still I can search the frame number online.
