Hi all,
I have recently acquired a 20 1/2 inch frame Raleigh Super Course, made in England in the Carlton shop. I believe the vintage is somewhere between 1969 and 1973. Overall condtion is good. Besides new tires , tubes and handelbar tape, all else is OK. Reynolds 531 sticker is torn but viewable ; All parts are straight and true. Alloy wheels with Maillard Q/R hubs. Nervar cotterless crankset. Huret Jubilee type derailleurs with down tube shifters. Weinmann center pull brakes.
I would like to get some opinions what it would be worth to sell once it has been tuned up and with the new tires, tubes and tape. Does $250 sound OK ?? Too high, too low ?

$250 is a fair price for a complete bike with 531 frame tubes (remember it's just main triangle with straight-gauge 531). In a major city on CL it would go for that, eBay a bit more with nice pictures.

However I do think you should sell it to me with the customarily large C&V member discount.

Depends on where you're selling it.
