if a potential buyer asks for the VIN number, is it safe to give it to them?

Inasmuch as any yahoo can read it through your windshield anytime he wants to, I'd say yeah, that's pretty safe.
What are they gonna do, sue you for too many digits?

If not only safe, it's just about essential anymore. I won't buy anything (and rarely even bother to go look at something) unless I've first run the VIN through Carmax and the state DMV website.

Transferring ownership

A good friend of mine just passed away. His wife gave me his Vespa, almost new. I have the registration, but she can't find the pink slip. Only his name was on the regristration and the pink slip, I assume. Is there a legal issue here when I go to the DMV and try to get a duplicate pink slip and transfer ownership. He didn't have a will.

If she is executor she can go to, or call DMV, and get the proper papers to trasfer title from estate to her to you. But it can't go from estate to you without her signing off on it. She has a legal obligation to do this correctly. It's not in your hands, but hers at this point.

Thanks. That's what I kind of thought. I was just wondering since it was in him name only, if she has the legal right to transfer ownership

Hard to say. That's a probate issue. If there's no will, that can be sticky. Depends on her legal status, other family members' claims, etc.

Have her call DMV. They'll advise her what's what. Or you can call DMV anonymously and inquire about the problem and advise her. In that way, you can push it along.
