Please note that we as a shop only purchase mopeds that are brought into our store.There are a lot of moped hobbyists, collectors, hoarders, and flippers scouring the standard peer to peer market (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Moped Army, garage sales, scrap tards, etc.) ready to jump on those sub $300 mopeds.RUNING MOPEDS SELL LESS QUICKLY FOR $500 USD + The upper end of what someone will pay for a non-running moped is $200-$300.If your non-running moped has some weird specific part that someone really needs.If we are low on inventory and you have a super common moped that will be cheap for us to restore.If the buyer REALLY REALLY wants a specific moped (See “RIGHT BUYER” info below).Top tank mopeds (the ones that look like little motorcycles) usually sell for a bit more.We restore them and add value before selling! We do our best to both buy and sell at “market rate.” Since we typically buy non-running mopeds for the standard $100 market rate and it would be wrong of us to sell non-running mopeds for more than $100, we just don’t sell non-running mopeds. This price is very standard on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Moped Army, garage sales, scrap yards, etc.If they have the ability to accurately diagnose that, they would have the ability to do those things and double or triple the value of their moped. If the seller says it “just needs a carb clean” or “just needs a spark plug,” they are lying.There are a lot of costly and/or time consuming repairs that may be needed on a moped so most people will not bet more than $100 on that gamble. If it cannot be ridden, it cannot be properly diagnosed.
Riding them allows you to hear and feel the bike’s functionality. These bikes typically have 40 years of unknown history. If it can’t be ridden down the road, there is no way to tell what the moped needs.
