Eddy merckx road bike - value?

This is my first post and I'm reaching out to try and get a ball park figure on what my bike is worth.
I don't have any pictures but I will try to describe is as best as I can.

The frame is in excellent condition (no crashes) and it looks like the frame posted here in ebay

http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...2oKHOw7Jvw.jpg

It has complete Campy Super-Record set (not Record-C), front/rear hubs, bottom bracket, crank, front/rear derraillers, brakes. The stem and seat post is a Cinelli X/A I believe.

The handle bar is a 3TTT and it seems to have a smooth white leather wrapping with black pantograph type stitching when viewed head on.

The wheels are fitted for sew-ups and have a aero edge (no flat on top).

I believe it is Columbus SL (not sure if it was SLX)

I purchased the bike back in 1988 from Roy's Sheepshead Cycle shop in Brooklyn New York. I was new but was a floor model at that time.

I paid $1250 for it back then (amazingly I still have the receipt) and was told it was a good deal back then.

The bike has been sitting in a dry basement for the last 20+ years, but of course the tires are dry and the rubber brake hoods are stiff and cracked.


Does anyone have any idea what this bike might be worth if I decide to sell it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
