2nd hand small bikes - rip-off artists?

[Buff]

I've been browing gumtree and bikefind for a while now looking for a 125 or TW for the wife and I've come to the conclusion that there are way too many artist out there looking to make a quick buck. There's an oke on Gumtree asking 16k for 2nd Honda 125 Bros and I've just seen a rusted piece of crap down the road from me and the oke wants 14K for it (also 125 Bros).

Am I missing something here? Honda sells that little 125 (with disk front) for 14K, on the road for 15k including reg etc. Why are people asking so much for the Bros? Is it a 2 smoke as apposed to 4 or are sellers just taking a chance?
