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.

Next to f.ck all because if it was likely to run you'd rebuild it, mot
it and then sell it.

After the last time I changed the starter motor on the Katana, I vowed
never to work on my bike myself. I left one clip on the carbs loose,
which jammed the throttle open.

I had the MZ engine rebuilt at a garage, brought it home, placed it in
the plastic tub with the other bits and said "I'll fix that next
week", which was 6 years ago.

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.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Drew.H
<ecotackQnospamQ@googlemailQspamlessQ.com> saying something like:

Starting bid 99.99? f.ck me, that's optimistic. I make this
prediction.... not one bid on it.

Iiwy, I'd start it at a fiver and just let it run.
