That's it, I don't know what I'm doing, I haven't got the time or energy to even go out and try and fix this so its on ebay.

Knowing my luck, its just the idle mixture screw, it may be something else, I don't know what Im doing and I aint got time to get the bike in the car or pay some garage to fix it for me.

You may or may not think its over-priced. When fixed, it by no doubt one of the quickest ET2's around. Whilst its not, its obviously the slowest.

Anyway, wish me luck. I need as much as I can get for my next project and I cant be off the road for too long.

Unlucky mate, commiserations You can keep relisting while you see if you can get it running better, or relist and add make a offer. You don't have to accept any offers if they're no good to you, as far as I know. You might find that your ET appeals to first time riders, who may be less willing to take on one that's not running 100%. Guess your best bet is an experienced rider who wants a scoot for a wife, son or daughter maybe - know a few lads who've bought ETs in that situation...

I think your right about the Stickers Bitsa, although they hide a few marks lol What price would you put on it?

If you type Vespa ET2 in the search box on eBay, then click 'Advanced' to the right of the blue Search button, you can select Completed Listings or Sold Listings, then click Search, and that's what will come up, instead of current live listings that you'd normally see. Might give you an idea of what any previous ones sold for...
