Yes, $200 is about on par. I bought a nashbar tour bike with suntour XC and a sugino triple crankset for $135=> bargain in my mind for a great commuter. At 60cm it was too large, and I ended up swaping components and putting the frame in storage. I am not sure what to do with the frame, but it was a good, tight tour bike. Chances are - I will give it away or donate it to the bike co-op at some point.
80's-90's Nashbar frames in my mind are under-rated. If you have room - I would recommend doing what I'm doing -> if there's room, store the frame in a box for a while. Although not a rare, collectible item - you may run into someone looking for a larger frame to pass it along.
