I've sold at least a dozen reconditioned Tempos in my area for $575 or more, although they were later '87 and '88 models with indexed shifting and full Shimano groupsets.

IMHO, even $315 isn't a bad price if it has been serviced and is ready to ride. I live in the bay area so am used to higher prices.
The subject bike is in good nic and IMHO, high $200's is about right. Today, I just listed a 1982 Voyageur 11.8 in Ann Arbor at $295 and have drawn a prospective buyer. It is smaller, but the paint is not as good as Omaha.
