Default Whats it worth (before I put it on eBay)

http://v2u.net/ebay/mz_1.jpg

MZ ETZ 125.

Sat in the garage for 6 years. Everything is there. Engine had a
rebuild, but I never got around to fitting it back together.

What do you think it would go for?

Somewhere between notalot and slightly less than the listing fee.

Its a proper bike this, not like the plastic rubbish of today. When
my son crashed it, all that was needed was a couple of well placed
kicks, the MZ only needed one.

Wait for a 5p listing day and you might just cover your costs...

Break it, start everything at 99p

Rear light may go for a fiver, instrument surrounds crack so if yours is
good maybe £10, forks bend, front wheels get smacked, indicators smash,
switches break, seats rip, discs warp, engines can be couriered,
regulators stop working, speedo and tacho cables snap etc etc.

Even if I just wanted the instrument surround I wouldn't buy the whole
bike for £1 as the hassle of collecting it is too much but I may pay £10
for the bit I want.

Either that or MOT it - probably worth £150 to £200 with a ticket; maybe
£40 at the outside as is.

A sensible suggestion, but I read it too late.

I'm now off to SPAM any MZ forums I can find.
