mostly out of ciriousity, I am wondering if my moped is at all a collectors item. its a 1978 vespa bravo, blue, not in the greatest shape but I might restore it. It has some light rust and a bad seat. I am cirious becouse I see vespas on e-bay and cragslist for rediculis prices, upwords of 2 grand, are these people just dreaming? can you really sell one of these mopeds for that much?

mostly I see the older, classic style for sale for alot (with the large front fairing), but I just saw a 1980 vespa for $2000, is there some kind of blue book for these? whats the deal?

The Vespas that fetch the big money are scooters not mopeds. Your Bravo is a nice moped, but not a classic and worth a couple hundred dollars. Parts are not that hard to get ,so it's up to you if you like it enough to restore it. bruce

Your Bravo is not that rare but is a great little moped. If you clean the carb, put in a new plug and maybe points and condensor if needed, you will have a dependable moped that has good low end torque, is a great hill climber (for a moped),

With the price of gas increasing it may come in very handy.

I have lots of parts for Vespa Mopeds, New and used.

prices for vintage Vespa scooters have gone crazy!

some people have made big bucks by going to third world countries, buying cobbed together junk and reselling them on ebay. repairs I have seen are downright scary(but invevtive) using soda cans, wood etc...
