tough to say: Medicis aren't in huge demand so they tend to be a "sleeper" that some lucky buyers get cheap. Yours looks to be in xlnt shape, and if the paint is original it's very clean, so's the chrome AFAI can see. And it's Tange Prestige with a good but eclectic mix of components. If you find a buyer who really knows the marque and loves it: $600-700...but given a down market and an average buyer, maybe only half that.
The white Regal saddle will help selling it...I'm serious

It is in great shape, a really bizarre build, a bike like this will do much much better parted out I would think you could get $300 for the crank, rd and BB alone... but I haven't been paying attention to the market, is it really that bad that you think only $300-400 unworthy?

I think parted out would be more beneficial as well. The mix of components may hurt the overall price. With that said, if you happen to be selling the frameset let me know. I read that Medici bikes were built in CA and I've been yearning something built from my state :)

EDIT: Wow Sam! You're like my next door neighbor (I'm in San Jose). I did a quick search of my CL and saw your Medici on there :). A bit out of my price range from what you set it at. However, if you happen to go lower let me know and you could possibly have a quick buyer!
