I have the chance to buy at auction two 1981 Vespa Grande mopeds. The description only says: "Red & blue, runs & looks great, very low miles."
What bidding max would I be looking at, depending on condition, of course. Thanks much, Bruce |

Bruce,
Personally I'd offer around $500-$600 for the two of them. Perhaps more, if I really wanted them and had no luck whatsoever finding anything locally. Few of things to keep in mind: 1) You are taking a gamble, since there's no way for you to verify the "they run great" claim. Unless you're technically inclined yourself, finding a place to fix up a moped can be quite a challenge. 2) Do you really need both bikes? 3) Ask the seller how much the shipping costs would be. Good luck, Andy |

Depending on the model (Standard or deluxe with turn signals or oil injected model) they can go for up to about $900. Most Grandes go for around $500-$700 in excellent condition.
Price epends on location, the season, and if the seller will crate and ship |

Yeah, I probably wouldn't plunk down more than $600 for one, but then again, I'm a total cheapskate.

Thanks for your imput, guys.
Shipping is no problem, since the auction is only about a 1.5 hour drive away. Was thinking of buying both if the price is right and maybe selling one. Bruce |
