$1200 as in SOLD, or $1200 as in ASKING. For someone into desirable Schwinns, I see painted 1970s Paramounts sold in the $600 to $1000 price range. And those will have full Campy parts. The full chrome 1970s Paramount is in the $1500 and up price range.

This is a Voyageur 11.8 which is no match for a Paramount.


The highest SOLD chrome Voyageur in the last year was $475. Then you have fees, income taxes, and buyer wins all disputes. Even though I am a very active seller on ebay, on complete bikes I use the 50% rule. If I can get 50% of the ebay price locally, I'm selling local. So $250 is the 50% rule. I'd price at $300 locally and see what happens. I see some remaining rust which will affect value. Another reason to sell locally.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
