I know for a fact that I am bugging everyone with all my newbie questions, but here goes anyways. DO you think either one of these Peugeot's would be a good deal if I could get it for around 170 or so? Anyone know what model they are? The seller doesnt know a whole lot about them apparently he inherited them. Sorry for so many dumb questions.
Your eager friend,

Man, those pictures are horrible and Peugeots all look the same to me.
Here is what I think I see:
- no black lugs
- looks like a big metal spoke protector
- Maybe a kickstand on the white one
I going to guess they are lower end, but I'm no Peugeot expert either. They are both fairly small bikes too.

Yeah and they are early 70's it looks like so I doubt they are very light. I was interested because I thought I may be able to make some money on them or one of them...I probably wouldn't for what hes asking.

In my area $170 would be slightly high so there is no way you would get any profit. If you could get both for $170 you might be able to make a few bucks but who knows.

Maybe and kinda maybe. The white one appears to be a better value only because the seat appears t be in beter condition.
Both UO8's
green = early 70's
white = late 70's
Both for $170 = $85 each. Its only a deal if the seats are in good condition. Old leathers are in the $50-75 each range.

Alright, well I may offer him but I doubt he will bite. Thanks guys. You think $200 is too much for both?

No, but only if the seats are in good condition. To make money at $200 you'd need to sell the seats seperatly..

Yeah I am still communicating with the seller through e-mail. I told him that they are just not worth what he is asking and that I just do not have that much to spend. I am just waiting for HIM to make an offer haha.
