I'd add that a majority of the folks who sell the few high-end vintage that shoe up here know they have something valuable, and I surmise they're giving CL a shot before heading off to fleabay. But once in a while, maybe every 2-3 months, I get tempted by a good bike someone is simply unloading at a low price to get rid of it. Of course, most of these are not my size. Thqat doesn't stop me from checking it daily, hoping to win the lottery, so to speak.

I've acquired the following from CS the past year:

Bob Jackson Super Tourist--$950, which I consider a fair price, especially considering a local deal avoids the added cost of shipping.

Two RB-2s, both in excellent condition, one for $250, which I consider fair, and one for $150, which I consider a bargain.

Raleigh Gran Prix--rough but complete, including some nice steel fenders-$35.

Gitane Gran Sport mixte, excellent condition and complete-$25.

Also traded away my too-small DL-1 for a Lotus Eclair.
