What does 2021 mean for Classic Mopeds in the UK?
Will Moped Prices continue to rise?
With lock down, demand for restoration projects has grown. Prices seemed to soar through 2020. Some restoration projects that were £250 in 2019, are now being advertised for £900-£1200! I do not know if these prices are being achieved or whether people are asking because they do not want to sell?
I have noticed a trend for people to now be looking on Facebook Market Place or Gumtree rather than the traditional market places. Auction sites no longer seem to have the trust that they used to, and I understand Gumtree has been bought by one!
You can now only buy our parts direct from www.classicmopedspares.com.
Classic Moped Spares more parts, more choice!
2020 was a bit of disaster, trying to juggle additional personal commitments due to lock down and Brexit looming at the end of the year. Fortunately Classic Moped Spares invested heavily in stock towards the end of 2020 to ensure that we were able to continue supplying customers in the Uk throughout 2021. Classic Moped Spares is increasing its range of products and we expect this to continue throughout 2021.
Exporting
In January 2021 due to the lack of guidance and general confusion over exporting, Classic Moped Spares chose not to export any goods worldwide. This was not something we wished to do, but when major companies also chose not to because of confusion surrounding the rules, we felt that we also had no choice.
We have started exporting again in February 2021 and hopefully this will be able to continue going forward. Export prices have risen due to a combination of covid, less air travel, additional paperwork and regulations.
Some customers have reported that they are unable to buy goods from other countries and they are being also hit for taxes they were not aware of. If you buy from us within the Uk, our vat is included within the price and there are no hidden fees. From outside the Uk, please check if you have to pay tax on buying goods from the Uk. There are so many countries in the World we cannot advise on this.
Our aim is to try to get along with everyone!
Challenges
2021 is going to continue to be challenging for us. Currently we have less time due to restrictions, but still want to help. The best way to get in contact is through the Classic Moped Spares website contact us page, and I will try to help when I can.
Classic Moped Spares is hoping later in the year as things go back to some kind of normal, to be able to advertise more new old stock and mopeds that have been bought over the years that we have not had time to look at.
Thank you for supporting us
Please do continue to share your good experiences of buying parts from Classic Moped Spares with your friends, over the phone, in clubs, forums, facebook or where-ever convenient. Without your support the Uk would not have moped parts suppliers such as us and that would be such a shame as we have helped so many people over the years restore their mopeds.
