1982 bianchi nuovo
Good condition. How much should I offer him? He said any reasonable offer would be accepted.
It's an 82' bianchi nuovo.

I don't know much about 80's Bianchi's but Chipcom has a couple of them Pheard. A lot depends on the condition of the bike as well. So, thinking of becoming a Road biker eh?

Hum, and 82 Bianchi with upgraded/replaced group (correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think SIS was out in 82, nor was the RX100 group). Depending on tubing, I'd offer $150-$250. I've got a upgraded 87 Schwinn I'm trying to get $275-$325 out of right now that someone just called a mediocre deal (which I don't agree with).

Yea, he said any reasonable offer, so offer him 100 bucks. Either you will get a good deal or you will find out what the owner really wants for the bike.

It's evidently a Japanese Bianchi, which reduces its price, but not its quality. Is the color charcoal (like mine) or black? Either way, I kind of like the yellow handlebar tape and may try it next time on mine.

First and foremost, ask yourself if it's your size and is it the bike you want? Then, assess the condition (it looks like it has new tires and tape, meaning that it might be currently in good running condition). Will you need to immediately sink more money into it?
Hard to say without more info. or better photos but, based on what we know, $100-150 seems fair (unless it's in like-new condition, which is highly unlikely). Italian equipped celeste Bianchis of comparabe age can be found on Ebay for $200-250, if you're patien. They may not be much better than that one, but they will hold their value much more.

I don't have the 1982 specs but the 1983 was a Columbus butted main frame with Falck stays and forks. It doesn't say if the main tubes are SL or butted Aelle. Original components were Nuovo Record derailleurs with Ofmega Competition crankset, hubs, pedals and headset. Brakes were Universal 77. Claimed weight was 23.5 lbs. It was pretty much your typical Italian, mid-range, club racer.
Most of the components appear to have been replaced. The crankest looks like it has a larger BCD. The rear derailleur is a replacement and almost certainly indexed to match the shifters. Those brakes are far superior to the originals.
So, you've got a decent, but not great frame. It's a Bianchi but it's not the desirable celeste. The components aren't original, but are probably better from a functionlity standpoint. If your intention is a main rider, this configuration is proabably better than the original. If it's restoration, you'll probably spend a fair chunk of change and time collecting the original parts. I'd probably only consider that option if it was celeste.
I wouldn't comment on price without knowing more component models and the condition.

Nuovo Racing or Nuovo Touring (not sure if the touring was
available in 82, was in 81).
otherwise +1 as to what T-Mar said.

If the frame is the right size for you and you can get it for less than $200, I think you'll have a classy looking road bike that rides smoother and is just as light as any new $700-800 entry-level road bike. My old Bianchis are my favorite bikes.

It will make a good ride anyways, but I can't help feeling a Bianchi should be celeste just like a Ferrari should be red. But hey, maybe I'm just a bit stuck in my ways ... going on 50 ...

Measure the BB shell width. 70mm and Italian threading (inexplicably strange metric-English hybrid of 36mm x 24 TPI) indicates Italian origin and probably a Columbus tretubi frame, whereas 68mm and English threading (1.375" x 24 TPI) indicate a Japanese build.
I can tell you from experience that early 1980s Italian Bianchis are great; I have read elsewhere that their Japanese cousins are, as well.
