I like this game!
This one's maybe a decent deal? It's at least rare enough for the asking price to the right person.

I think both by the same seller. Prices are in CAD so in USD should be 4878.58 for the colnago and 4203.08 for the guerciotti

This one also qualifies for Wacky World, given the cryptic text With Every Word Initial-Capitalized, the wacky price, the severe shortage of information, and the ZERO photos:

This is the most expensive near me -- not exactly C&V, but there's not much on there now.
I might be tempted to make an offer if it was ~60cm

Currently we've got a "Cherry VIntage JC Higgins 1955" for $999. It does look nice:
From the same ad: "ALSO BIG WHEEL VINTAGE REPLICA BONE CRUSHER BIKE with 52" Front wheel .Same price !"
That's the first "bone crusher" I've seen with riser bars.

There are a few nice and older vintage bikes on Las Vegas CL right now, but this one has the highest list price. It's been listed for 3 weeks.
https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/bik/...750318497.html
IN VERY GOOD condition
A vintage used Motobecane Nomade 18" kids bicycle.
Made in France,
A true rare French collectible, very few of these were imported to the states and very few remain.
Only has 700 imported as I heard
This bicycle appears in the 1975 model year catalog.
Featuring a full 6 speed Huret drive train with down tube shifters this bike was marketed towards "the beginner who wants to enjoy the pleasures of true cycling."
A Huret Allvit rear derailleur is paired to a Atom 3 speed freewheel, front shifting is provided via a Huret Allvit derailleur and a miniature 3 piece cotter pin crank set.
Braking power is provided via Weinmann caliper brakes and levers.
The original 18" 450A tires are cracked and will need replacement.
This particular bike is in ok shape with scratching and some minor surface corrosion to the paint job.
This bike will need a tune up before it is ready to ride.
Measurements
41cm Seat Tube (top to center)
39cm Top Tube (center to center)
63cm Stand-over Height
Needs new tires if you want to ride it instead store it.

or how about
