That may help.

Nice bike!
Is there any particular reason why you have it listed in that catagory on ebay? You would be much better to list it in this catagory, http://sporting-goods.listings.ebay.com/Vintage_Vintage-Bikes-Frames_W0QQdfspZ32QQfclZ3QQfromZR11QQsacatZ159000QQsocmdZListingItemList .
Also, add an umlaut (Dürkopp) and ship internationally, the Germans would have more interest in the bike than Americans. Add better pictures too.
Since Dürkopp is not a well known marquee, I think if you do what I suggested, you could get $1,000-$1,500. If somehow you can hype Dürkopp, make it the Umberto Dei of Germany, you may break $2,000. But I think that is unlikely.

P.S.: Right-hand side of the bar looks bent.
