Maybe $100-150. Value is in the frame.

Took me two months to sell a beautiful 600 in powder blue. As usual it was to big for me. I sold it for $200. And this was eight years ago when the market was stronger. CL Sale.
CL is now worthless.

I'm looking into buying rather than selling. So this is good. I may start at 100 if it fits me. Thanks for the info guys!

I'm biased, but to me that's a lot of bike for very little money. Maybe I just like old bikes too much. I agree, the value is in the frame. You could build a very nice bike out of it, have the joy of building up a nice bike, and maybe sell on everything else for pocket money.

as in you think this is a good deal for a decent bike? I’ve liked the look of a nice vintage cannondale, this one with campy stuff may be a good find. What do you think?

The bike I had I would have gladly kept and road at least for a while had it fit. If someone came by, and offered a $100 I would have walked!
Now the seller might happily take your offer. My thing is I tell people I won't budge on price. If they try that after I said I wouldn't budge I will walk and not even sell if they come up to my asking price. Lately they just email, wan't to "Pickup The Bike up Today" and when I tell them the price is firm their asses disappear.
One thing about the Dale that I like is they often had shorter top tubes. Less aggressive, and more comfortable. So depending on your reach the bike may, or may not work for you.
(I had a trade offer from someone, they contacted me, got on here, and the good old BF crowd nixed the trade, and the potential trader tried to sell the bike for $600. I really liked the bike he was offering but in no way was it a $600 bike. Trade was favorable, but not by that much considering condition. He needed a bigger bike, and I needed a smaller one. See the kind of BS a seller can go through.....bike offered in trade below)

Looks worth a couple hundred. Just needs a tune up and ride it as-is. Looks like good mid-level components.
I have a few of those frames kicking around. My son rides 1 occasionally, and the others are hanging from the basement ceiling.... Probably will never get used
