Tentacle...while I think $110 is a good price, I wouldn't put too much stock in that BIN price. In my experiences the Raleigh 3 speeds flat out won't sell for what you think they'll sell for. I had a great condition 1954 Raleigh Sports with a dynohub and front and rear lamps and I couldn't get $200 for it. In other words...that's a go for it price, but if you're thinking flip...you should NOT expect anything even close to $500. I think $250 would be the absolute most you get.

Looks like he raised the price to $140 for some reason. $110 would be an ok price. Not great, but ok. $550 is flat out insane though.
