I have seen in my search for a Vespa to buy , several scoots advertised for sale at prices WELL.. above Msp's. A few people have replied to my calling out the prices as gouging, saying that it is just , supply and demand. The overpriced scoots appear for sale a long amount of time and I have no clue if the ever get sold for near the prices being asked. Nothing is worth more then another will pay for it and I would put my money on a brand ne gts300 model at app 10 thou then pay many times 10,000 for a bike that will perform no better and maybe even worse then the gts i would buy. Like new is not new.

There's what they're asking, and there's what they're getting.

There has been an effort to market the 946 as an investment from the beginning. And they keep making more of them.

You can't haul a ham on a 946. Maybe a hamster?

I'm leaving that one alone for the moment…

But: I think our fabled friends in Pontadera are having something of a delayed Rolex Moment here. If, like me, you're as much into watches as bikes, you'll know what I mean:

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hype-watch-2022

IMO, scooters and watches (and exotic cars, unless you're talking 50s gullwing Mercs and such) generally make for terrible investment vehicles – that pun was 100% unplanned, honest – even though my current fave snarky YouTube car guy says otherwise:

Of course, that 946 probably beats crypto to shit.

Worked for me, even without the other bike.
