I doubt it it would be too much of a burden on the seller that's why they went with Registering Owner/Pilots In the first place.

There after I would imagine future purchases would correlate to that item and that person
This is what I predicted would happen
Can U imagine the complexity of keeping such a system up to date. Impossible. There were as of 2014 just 7523 registered air carrier panes in the US registry and 199,927 General aviation[SUP]b[/SUP] (active fleet) for a total of 207,450 Total US registered
aircraft (Excluding military). For the last 7 or so years the FAA at oklahoma city
have shut down the whole registration almost weekly just to keep up with the Updates.
Can U see the complexity of keeping track who owns What with a Million and a half R/C TOY air vehicles out there. Impossible to accomplish with the present system.

The FAA will take voluntary registration out of the loop
Consider the rule that says that drones purchased after 12/21/15 must register as of 12/21/15 with no grace period til 2/19/16.
But it will take time for the app and the rest of the machinery to be put in place.
So if you plan on buying a drone and not registering do it now.
Who knows when the system will be operational?
NEVER Will not work, for many reasons.

and I think you put this out tongue in cheek? I know plenty who have, those are the real quiet guys in the club now. Especially if they have showed their drone pictures to everyone. What a bunch of bananas !
Of course no self respecting AMA member would ever do anything not in accordance with the AMA's Safety code, Now Would they?
