Litespeed/Merlin frames in good condition normally sell for $500-900 on eBay. When they were new, dealer cost on many of these was ~1300, MSRP was 1800, back in the 2000-2005 period.

Normally frames listed for >1000 never get a bid. A significant number start out low and are shilled up to the 700-900 range. Shilling has always been rampant on eBay. Many of the items I watch "sell", then weeks later are up for sale again. I saw one frame sell at least 3X. So, caveat emptor!
