In Chicago's CL, World Sports go for $150, Varsities $100. The other part is lots of folks don't know what to buy, VO takes care of that for a very reasonable markup. I know people that drop $1000 on a golf weekend, VO gives you a nice bike instead.
Living in suburban Clev, OH with it's over 10% unemployment beater bikes are going for some serious money on CL. There's just no way you can buy Waterford Paramounts for the kind of money mentioned earlier.
I still stand by the statement that the VO is a deal for a new frameset.
