Do you know approximately how much they are worth?

Awhile back I bought a bike that had fallen through the cracks of the local bottom feeders, it was a mid 80's Vitus 979 with a semi-weight-weenie built. It had a mostly Campy Super Record group with the addition of the Assos pedals, Campy alloy freewheel, EDCO BB, alloy BB and single wall Mavic G40 rims with lightweight clinchers. I paid almost fair market value for the bike...$850? I bought it when I was on 'flip hiatus' so this one escaped my spreadsheet. I sold of the pedals and freewheel to fund the purchase, I think made $725 from both so my cost bases for the bike is $125.

In regards to the pedals, I think they were only made for 2 years in the mid 80's, titanium spindles with oil ports in the body and a weight of ~240g for the pair. Value is ~$450.
