Some of the non-road bikes like the Stingrays do, but other than Paramounts and some of the other less common higher-end models, there isn't much of a premium commanded over any other manufacturer (at least, from my daily perusing of CL). There's just too many of them out there to command any special value.
I'd agree (once again, in my area) that Miyatas seem to be some of the better deals, and I'd probably add Univega and Raleigh to that list too. Any of the French bikes of decent quality command a pretty decent price. If you are worried about things commanding a premium, Italians are probably out completely.
