What's This Team Miyata Worth
It looks like a Classic & Vintage nice steel frame with modern and fast parts ... I'm curious and would love to test drive, but can't imagine paying any more than $500 (at the most!) -- is this bike worth $1500?

From the ad:
1985 Team Miyata, triple butted Japanese steel frame, bright blue 60cm in excellent used condition. A few cosmetic scratches on top tube and stays.
Mavic groupset (front and rear derailleurs, double crankset, bottom bracket, downtube shifters, brakes).
Mavic Cosmic 700c aluminum clinchers with bladed spokes. Vittoria action pro 28c tires.
Shimano Dura Ace headset and seatpost. Selle turbo saddle. 3TTT stem with Cinelli bars.

Wrong forum, this will likely get moved...
A few thoughts; team miyatas have a rabid following. The Mavic gruppo is also fairly desireable, and this one looks like it's in good shape. It's a very desirable bike and presents well.
It's hard to get max value on CL, even in NY. That's ambitious eBay pricing, especially for its size. There could be a buyer, but it would take a while, and probably not on CL.
The frame would sell for $500 pretty easily, so I think your pricing is also unrealistic.
I think $1000 on this is pretty reasonable given the parts.

This is a fine frame but I'd shoot for a price closer to $700-$800.

Still learning
$850-$900, with patience. Also, if it were a part out, 25 percent more.
