The $300 one linked on ebay has one fatal flaw: local pickup only.
In addition, the really desirable Kleins IMHO have flamboyant paint schemes, fade, fluorescent, etc. This one on ebay doesn't have it. It is still a nice deal, local pickup only is often where the best deals reside on ebay.
As far as MSRP, the further you go back, the less meaningful it becomes. Early 1970s Paramounts had MSRPs of around $350. 1971 Paramount track bike retailed at $225! I would love to have a container load of those! Meanwhile, a Schwinn Continental retailed for $105 (naturally, thats the bike I got).
