ebay maximize value question

Quick question. I picked up a 1984 Trek 520 this morning in excellent condition. It is the 22.5 inch size one. Paint looks great except for a few scratches and dings. It is original down to the tires which are barely ridden as well. The only thing not original is the saddle which the original owner no longer had. It had a cheap Bontrager saddle on it.

I plan on putting it up on ebay. The cheap saddle really detracts from the overall original look. I have a few beat up decent saddles & a leather saddle that RHM refinished for me. Should I just list it without the saddle or sell it with the leather saddle. My thoughts are that whoever buys this bike will want the original saddle and just toss whatever is on there.

Here is a quick pic with the leather saddle. I will take better pics.
