Surely what you're referring to as 'flipping' is simply someone attempting to make money.  Something is worth what the market will pay for it, no?  If he's got a bargain at auction and is marketing it better to attract a higher price then what's wrong with that?  Good conservative Friedman free-market economics. 

Problem is they were never worth anything in the first place (see also Alfa Arna), so this type of thing is just taking the piss.

£2k to £10k does seem like rather a lot.

for some reason, best known to myself, i've really liked these ever since seeing them new on Piaggio's stand 20 odd years ago, at the motorbike show. (i think)

this is the first one i've seen for sale in forever that isn't fucked, but pretty much as new. nice.

 The 180s were great. I had a black special version for some 250cc racer. Can’t remember who. I could dig out the photos if anyone was vaguely interested. Was advertised as quicker than a Ferrari to 60 at the time.

I’ve got a factory fresh Peugeot  Speedfight 2 if you are interested :)

Back window worth looking at

It's at Welsh Border Motor Spares in Welshpool. If it's the same lad running as it 18-20 years ago, he's a brilliant bloke.

Brake pedal going to the floor too. Probably master cylinder but could be anything I guess. It's on Celica wheels so somebody once liked it enough to mess around with it.

Appealing colour scheme and condition on the outside.

Interior is a bit of a shock.

Think we'll pass on this one for now.

 

You can pass if you want to, but I can't!  I wonder if he wants a Cadillac?

Sure, I don't think he will get anything near that, he's a chancer but I just don't understand why people seem hostile to the principle of making a profit.

I had an original Speedfight back in the 90s. Was excellent. 50cc with the restrictor removed, it would go off the clock at 100kph (imported one)

Been toying with the notion of getting another small engined scooter/bike. I notice Honda are doing the new Super Cub at £49 deposit/49 per month. Their nice new Monkey is about £71 down and per month.

Didn’t the Runner have leg-warming vents which drove warm air from the radiator?

£2k not crazy from a dealer.

There is some rust to the rear arches and the windscreen pillars but nothing that's not reversible.

Might have to ask Santa for a tube of that there Rust Reverser.

That is lush.

Might have to ask Santa for £2,000.  :(

They copped that idea from the Honda Spacy, it had those in 1983!

It's because many Shiters associate buying and selling cars with loss. Profit is outside the experience of most of us.

Oooh, want, buy (using man maths).

Have. Bored now, sell for whatever. Just take it away please. Is that all? OK then.

Yup.  Only bikes I've ever owned with heating.

(Not massively effective if I'm honest.)

No, it was a nice idea but it never worked on any of the ones I had!
