well, hmmm. A good idea, but you have maybe oversimplified. There is a brand called Falcon, for instance, that originated in England. They built both low-end and very high-end bikes...So you cannot just write off a Falcon as a POS. And, my guess is that just about any level of Campy is going to generate some collector interest and so you shouldnt write off anything in that category. But you are probably on the right track.
You really need to spend some time training some "estimators" that can front for the rest of the mechanics. And I can speak for the group here: we will be happy to help getcha in the ballpark, just about any time.
