Absolutely, plus mixtes can be hard to find and in urban areas can often command a premium.
I just "overpaid" for a raleigh sport step through model for my wife. The seller was trying to convince me why the brooks saddle that was beat up to heck was worth more than the bike. The paint job was in awesome shape and that matters a lot when refurbing an old bike.
