The classic vintage saddle bag problem has now been solved

Classic Vintage Saddle Style Tool Bags at affordable prices

Classic Autocycle, Bicycle and Moped saddle bags have always been a luxury item until now. Many of the bikes when new did not cost much money and even today are worth relatively low values. This means that took bags or saddle bags as they were also called were relatively expensive compared to the bike. Many leather saddle bags are available however I have struggled to find anything for some time which looks in keeping and is at a reasonable price.

I am pleased to write that I have now found these new saddle bags which are available at very reasonable prices. For full details please click here

The bags are only currently available in brown, however black and white may become available at sometime. The brown bag compliments most leather saddles be they brown white or black.

The tool bag not only is water resistant, but is very well stitched and has a lining inside for additional protection.

These tool bags are ideal for keeping puncture repair kits, spark plugs, and cycle/moped maintenance tools. However not quite big enough for your lunch for those long autocycle runs!!

An example of how this fits on a bike saddle is below:-

Recently I have just added this cracking little Motobecance Moby X7 for sale www.classicmopedspares.com under 'Bikes for Sale'

This Motobecane Moby X7 is just one of many bikes for sale at Classic Moped Spares. Just take a look in the sold section for how many mopeds have already been sold. There are still plenty of genuine enthusiasts visiting the website daily looking to buy mopeds so if you have a machine you wish to sell then please get in contact.

Sometimes I can buy bikes, but distance can be a problem so if you would like to sell your bike then we also offer advertising at very competitive rates. We do not auction bikes on classic moped spares, but you can advertise for a longer period of time than a traditional auction which sometimes can mean better prices can be achieved.

Classic Moped and Motorcycle Restoration Price Guide

To restore or not to restore that is the question!

I often get asked the prices of classic mopeds and motorcycles when someone has just bought one. The difficulty is how do you value something 50-60 years old when a lot of it depends on someone falling in love with the vehicle in question.

You only have to watch Television programs such as 'Bargain Hunt' or 'Flog it' to realise the variations in prices made at auctions compared to dealers estimates. There are many specialist auction houses which specialise in Classic Motorcycles and the prices can vary differently from one sale to another. It really does depend on who is there on the day. I saw a Raleigh RM1 with no documents which was a real basket case make £750 at an auction in 2012, I assume just because it looked old and the bidders got slightly carried away. Similar ones I have seen advertised for more sensible prices of around £200. However prices are creeping up even of the smaller bikes so the RM1 will probably eventually be worth more.

Condition is also an important factor when trying to work out a value. I have seen some awful restoration jobs, which up close can be very disappointing however in a picture can look fantastic. In order of value I would prioritise:-
1. Original Patina to concourse standard - this is the ultimate worth paying a bit more for
2. Restored, but using original paint and parts to a very high standard
3. Original Patina reasonable standard
3. Basket Case in need of a lot of work
4. Poor Restoration, needs to be done again and very unlikely to ever reach number 2.

This is only my opinion as at September 2014 but if we put some estimated prices to an item say a 1980's  Honda C90 then:-
1. Original low mileage bike with all paperwork £1200-£1500. Dealer Prices
2. Restored £700-£900. Dealer Prices
3. Original, with V5 and running. £250-£500
4. Basket Case in need of a lot of work. £50-£250
5. Poor Restoration £50-£250

So good luck if you are looking to buy a Classic Moped and please be sensible and you will get what you want. I sell bikes on www.classicmopedspares.com some are my own and some are on behalf of customers. Please read the advert carefully and get in contact with the seller. If you want to buy or sell a bike you can email me on classicmopedspares@hotmail.co.uk

My Ebay store 'Moped Spares' is now back working 4th September 2014

Ebay crash now over no need to panic!

 

Yesterday I posted a message that Ebay was not working. This had no impact on my website www.classicmopedspares.com

 

Ebay now appears back up and running this morning 4th September 2014 and products are available to buy from my ebay store 'Moped Spares' and through my website www.classicmopedspares.com

 

Shopaholics everywhere will be giving a sigh of relief! Someone on twitter sent me a message that he was glad his wife was unable to spend some money for a few hours!

Ebay appears to have crashed 03/09/2014

Ebay still appears to have crashed

 

It would appear after trying to log into ebay and seeking information that ebay is still down. It  would appear to have gone down just before 19:00 GMT and is still not accessible an hour later at 20:00 today the 3rd September 2014.

 

I am still trying to find out what has happened and when it will be back available. Most of my current ebay orders have been despatched so please do not worry. You can contact me for an update on your order if you have any concerns

 

My products are still available to buy direct from www.classicmopedspares.com

 

This includes all products that I list on ebay and many more services. Please type what you need in the search boxes.

If you cannot find what you want then please email classicmopedspares@hotmail.co.uk

 

You can buy products from www.classicmopedspares.com using your paypal account. If you want to use card payment just say no to having a paypal account at the final payment gateway.

 

 

I do not know what has happened to Ebay at the moment, but I am sure that they will get it fixed and you will be able to buy products from my Ebay store soon. Classic Moped Spares is still up and running so please do visit the website www.classicmopedspares.com for the classic moped and motorcycle products you need.
