I won a brand new scooter!

Post by jesse1234 »

The big bookstore in town, Florida Book Store, held a contest where you had to make a 1-2 minute video about why you choose to shop at FBS. The winner would win a scooter, and my video won!

Chinese, but at least it's a 2stroke. Sells for $1300 new at the store in town: Image


and here's my video:

haha thanks man. To be completely honest, I'm not sure what to do with it. I could probably sell it for like $800 or so in town

I also picked up a Zip Vento for $120 a couple of weeks ago that's fully running and everything. Plan on cleaning it up and selling it for around $300 or so:

Man the thing probably has 0 miles so I would sell if I were you instead of putting a few miles on it and it depreciating a ton.

Just my 2 cents.

Looks like you could use the money for school supplies, booze, and condoms instead :naughty:

Jesse, congratulations! :woot:

I had a feeling good things were coming your way man. After my first spree, thats exactly what I started off with a Vento Zip, it pretty much flourished my scooter modding career. Don't know what your free scoot will bring but I'm sure it will be good things too.

Buying and flipping that $120 Zip is also a wise move and props for considering it.

Take care :thumbsup:
projects galore :nerd:
