I remember seeing them in late 80s. Not a very rare or special bike. Had aluminum main triangle and steel stays. Also a cromo fork. I had a technium road bike and liked it, had no issues with the bonded tubes. Probably a $75.00 to 100.00 bike.

Those were entry level bikes, not worth $100 used...but people will pay anything these days so if it's in mint condition as you say or darn close maybe $125.

Market pricing varies- $75 could get you a decent bike in one place, but you might need at least double that elsewhere.
You'll also likely get a better estimate if you post up pictures.
