I agree with miamijim - it's all about brand-recognition. My Olympia is a top-notch frame and of course I kitted it out to the nth degree, but so far I've not had one bite on the Seattle CL (not even from a scammer). I think the value between $900-1000 is about right - I mean, the parts are all correct save the modern saddle and the paint almost appears original. The finish certainly is exquisite. You're just going to have to find a lightning strike as concerns the one person who knows what it is and has the desire to own one.

Good luck!
