I fear that you are correct, I say fear as I will probably be moving on my PY10 in a month or so and prices look a bit soft :sad:

The price being asked is a very subjective matter as surely if it is the bike you want and you are willing to pay the price then on the day you paid for it, it was exactly what you wanted.
It's very much the same with modern classic cars and motorbikes, as an example, for instance, you can see some Ford Capri or Cortina models going for totally bonkers prices, you can then turn the page and see another in equally superb condition for a fraction of the price!

Don't know about old Ford motors but I know vintage bike buyers are a canny lot and don't like paying over the odds.
Admittedly in nice condition but Its only a Peugeot produced in their thousands. If I was in the market for a vintage bike at that sort of price I'd want something a bit more exotic. I'd rather go for that Moser you quoted above for a bit more which incidentally hasn't had a bid with an hour to go.
But 'chacun a son gout' as @woodbutcher might say.
And while we're on about Italian exotica there's a very nice piece for sale on here;

The bloke obviously doesn't use ebay as he had it incorrectly listed and as for that totally mad postal price, but with only a few minutes to go now it has reached £450 and climbing.

Sorry, my mistake his starting price was £450 and there hadn't been any bidding which was entirely his faut as he didn't have it listed as a bike!

But it is an exotic Peugeot! 531 all tubes and fork and, I think, hand built in the Peugeot equivalent of Raleigh’s SBDU. You are right though, because they made so many bikes, they lack the sense of exclusivity.
