That's actually a later Unicantor as it has the forged alloy wishbone instead of the twin steel seat rails of earlier production. The shell looks to have been re-covered which will pull down the value. I would guess from the condition that you have somewhat overvalued but the market will clearly speak!

incazzare.
Asking or selling? Asking prices are all over the map on Ebay. I see some NOS examples for more than $700, and some going for peanuts. Yours is used, a little beat up, recovered, and a less desirable version. I certainly HOPE for your sake that you get $50 for it, but I'd be surprised if you do!

That's a $20 seat at best w/ free shipping. I had someone buy a POS beat up seat off me because he was looking for a donor for custom recovering.

Correct spelling gets lots more sold results.......some - admittedly in better condition - well north of 50 bucks. Still, american psycho has the right idea. And miamijim and Thrifty Bill their knows pricing.....

The saddle has the original cover but it is wasted, the "pigskin" leather was a short lived option. Shows "velodrome" bike rack rash to me, (think big oversized sawhorse where the bike is held by the underside of the saddle and the front tire sits on the grass.)
Recoverable, but the shell is probably chewed up a bit too.
