You're much better off getting the seller to name a price and go from there. It's the seller's responsibility to figure out the value of something he already owns.

Bikes: IRO Angus; Casati Gold Line; Redline 925; '72 Schwinn Olympic Paramount

I'd probably pay up to $900 for it if I was in the market.

That said, then offer what it is worth to you.
