Hello Welcome to the forums!! Nice Bianchi are you buying or selling? The pics are not the greatest but I can tell you that is an '86 Metallic Violet Limited. Nice machine. Depending on its condition and location I think somewhere between $250 - 300 is about right

Better pics in his ebay posting https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bianchi-Colu...item19e77c3ead
I never saw Bianchi in such color and it looks great (once cleaned up) but I don't think $775 is realistic price.

$775 is way too high. Given the vague description with errors and the poor mechanical condition (it's not "ready for riding," it obviously needs a complete overhaul) of the bike I'd say more like $200 as it sits. I would not bother with ebay and get rid of it locally on craigslist. The cost to ship the bike will cut down your price too much.
Really cool bike, but presented very badly at a price that is over 3x what it should be.

If one is looking to buy fairly nice road bikes with a basic Columbus steel frames and 600 level components pop up pretty regularly on CL in most markets in the $200-400 price.
