Wrong part of the forum asking for value (there is a dedicated C&V subforum for appriasals). But, it looks like you already have them priced. Wouldn't someone normally ask before they price them for sale?
The one thing that is definitely going to effect the value are the sizes. The small and really big sized bikes are not worth as much because of overall demand. The most common sizes will go for more money since those sizes are in higher demand (52-58). Bad for a seller, but often good for a buyer if you can find the right bike.

Around here, small sizes are hot and command higher prices. But the flat bars and thumb shifters are a huge negative. Those would have to be returned to stock to get full value out of it.
Correct the bars, and it is a $300 to $350 bike, the larger size would be a little less, depending on condition.
But given it is Portland, they both are probably a good deal!
