What's my vintage Trek worth?

Hi! I work for a Trek dealer and I recently acquired a vintage Trek that was traded in to our shop. It's basically in 99% perfect condition, with only 2 small paint scuffs on the drive-side chain stay. I did some research on vintage-trek.com and believe I have figured out the model number and year: a 1981 Trek 614. It's honestly a very beautiful bicycle with MAYBE ten miles of use before me--clearly had been kept inside all the years--and even has the original Specialized Touring tires. The only immediately replaceable part are the brake hoods which had dried out after years of living in New Mexico. I've owned and drooled over many vintage bicycles and frames, but I've never seen something in such immaculate condition before. Any ideas what something like this could be worth?
