Depending on where you are at, I wouldn't be surprised if you found someone willing to pay $200 for it... maybe more.

Please promise to not sell it to someone who wants to turn it into YAFBC (Yet Another Fixed Bike Conversion).
Treks do not seem to be real popular w/ the fixed gear crowd in my experience. I have sold a few on e-bay and on CL and the fixed people contact you but always seem to pass due to things like frame geomerty and tire clearance (Too much for a sleek track bike look!) The folks that have puchased from me all seem to either be riding as is or adding fenders/rack and other commuting specific hardware. Let us hope this trend continues! I ride a 1978 Trek to work and back each day and love it! Also since they are not particularlly popular they still can be sourced relativelty cheap. Case and point I recently pickup a 1981 60 cm 710 531 frame and fork w/ a complete shimano 600 group. $26! I am going keep this one!
