The January Auctions in Las Vegas are over. There were a few (probably) bad scooters that made it to the auction block, and brought way more than they should have. There was a really bad Vietnam restored Vespa, and a Series II Lambretta that looks like it was an A.P.I. Indian-made Lambretta that was "restored" there. Both buyers are likely to be very dissapointed. As expected, the TWN and the Salsbury brought big money. They looked like they were quite nice. Here are some of the notable results:
- Vietnam "restored" Vespa VBB in horrible pink- somebody got snookered!: $3800
- Lambretta LI125 Series III, refreshed in good shape, someone got a good deal: $2000
