What should one of these be worth, 52 cm, excellent paint, not original but in excellent riding condition, fork might not be original?

If you hadn't seen this, it's off the vintage Trek site.
The 620 touring bike was offered in 1983, 84, and 85. It was a level above the 520, but because it was short lived and no longer in production, it is not as familiar to potential purchasers. On the used market, this often means less money for an even better bike. But only the 85 model had the extra-long 47 cm chainstays, matching those of the 720.
Some Trek models shared the same frame. For example, if you want a 1983 frame with 620 geometry and materials, you can look for a 1983 600, 630, or 640, all of which have the same characteristics as the 620. The geometry and frame materials are normally given in the brochure for that year.

Thanks, I'm pretty familiar with that info. And the long chainstays are the reason I'm interested.
There were some surprising differences in forks. For example look at the offset for the 1985 620 and the 1985 600. WAAYY less offset on the 600.
