I have picked up quite a few NOS bikes, and in general, I end up spending just as much refurbishing them as I do a bike that has been ridden extensively. But the NOS bikes usually have pristine paint. Trek paint is notably robust too. So how have they been stored (conditions) for this time? Humidity alone can cause a lot of rust on a bike that has never been outside. Rust = steep discount.

If condition is comparable, the 614 will have significantly more value, although it is not the sweet spot for vintage touring bikes. Buyers prefer a vintage touring bike to have cantilever brakes and bar end shifters, along with touring bike geometry. The 614 is built on a sport/multipurpose frame (the 613 and 614 share the same frame), it does not have touring bike geometry (chain stay is noticably shorter than the touring frames).

The other determinant on value is where/how do you plan to sell it, and what are your marketing skills. Its really pretty hard to get full market value out of a vintage bike, they usually sell at a discount. This discount is related to marketing skill and luck (timing). I often do not get full market value, so I need to improve in this area myself.

I am very familiar with the North West SC market.
