I'm new to scooters, parts, & there values.
Now I haven't inventoried it all yet.
But from what I've seen;
4 basic engines (one toasted by rod-throw.)
miscellaneous parts, & a
2008 Peace-Sports Lottus-50
(Not running , not bad but, in rough shape.)
Is all this a deal @ $200 + $60-delivery ?

I think if you can get that scoot to run you have a good deal for $200.00 bucks. The rest you can probably sell on EBAY and get your $200.00 back.

I think that I don't have enough seller feedback (1 sale.)
to get folks to purchase most of this stuff,
to get a fair profit.
Was actually thinking selling some idems locally.
Not shure on whom, or when.
But hopefully soon.

It did not look like that much stuff in the bins . I missed the part of the scooter . It takes a long time to get parts moving . You might be sitting on that stuff for a while . Go in with the mind set that you can loose the $200 and walk away .

So what would be a good deal for most?
------------
Update:
went & put what I could together.
Ended up with a whole engine minus a
Starter belt & belt cover.
2'nd engine, that can finished @ low cost.
A 3'rd that can be good for nice build-up,
or just made into a spare/back-up.
The 4'th -"Scrap"-
Looks like the carbs could provide
some good rebuild practice.
Looking to having some fun rebuilding some of these.
& see if I can sell/scrap the leftover idem/junk.

There you go and you are having fun tinkering and fixing and building and if you get that scoot to run you have a nice project scoot or a good runner. Shot if you get that scooter to run and get things working you can sell that sucker for $200.00 easy.

As a side i always look at it as a hobby,,, I concure with that. I wasn't thinking of making extra cash. Just wanted to come close to "break-even" as possible. As a shoestring bugeted Gearhead, this looked as good way to get back into wrenching again. -------------------------------- Besides, for some reason. Scooters from fixer-upper, to just bearly running. Appear to go for $150 to $400 around upper Kentucky area here. At least at what I can find. (Haven't found a local scooter Gear-head community yet.) I can only go as far as the next county, otherwise I have to pay someone to deliver. No truck/car to use or borrow. A 50cc scooter is all I can afford to drive. (No insurance needed to drive an under 50cc scoot in Ky.) _ |

Well Cy,
the best on "Papers" I got on the scoot is a signed Recipt with the make, model, Eng-size, & VIN on it.
-
I always make sure to get that
at least when purchasing any vehicle.
