Bikes: 1973 Batavus mixte

What makes a vintage bike valuable?

I've noticed that Schwinn holds their value very well. But what makes others valuable? Are there other brands that do? Does it matter if all the parts are original? I also noticed that racing bikes sell for much more than others do--why is that? I saw some vintage Schwinns on Ebay for around $1500! Why can't my pretty little mixte be worth that much?! BTW, what would be the value of my Batavus if I sold it?
