Holy smokes, a Vitus 976 frame with Shimano Dura-Ace FD and RD (7400-era) and 6400-era 600 crankset for $100. $100, people!!
An early Davidson, a Discovery touring bike for $600. Complete with various Campagnolo bits. Really just a grubby bike that could use a full disassembly, clean/wax/potential touch-up, and then reassembly. Lovely color, and of course being a Davidson, it's going to be a great ride.

This looks like it might be bigger than stated.

The stays look to be 44-45cm. In the case of frame size, I think the seller is on the money with the 60cm, which is too short for me, even if I do really like my Davidson Impulse. Additionally, this would have to compete with a number of tourers/sport tourers in my stable (Paramount, Trek 710, a "resting" Trek 410) including my '90 C'dale ST400, which laying waste to my idea of another touring frame being it's equal, let alone better. I continue to slowly scheme to make my '85 Trek 620 frame and fork (both pieces need work to even make it to the build-up phase) a match to it, and I have a pretty good plan with the honest pre-conclusion that I will trade a non-flexy frame that's dynamite out of the saddle (the ST) for some noticeable flex (in the same scenario) yet additional 'love' thanks to the frame being entirely steel, with longer chainstays yet, and of course being made by Trek.

If it might have been a little bigger, I would give it more possible consideration. I'm not lucky enough to have a Davidson yet so I would be a little more motivated to push the sizing envelope, but this would still have to be closer to right as I have several that are "close enough" and work just fine.

1973 Schwinn Paramount P10 in Tacoma. The seller is an elderly man who no longer rides and is looking to sell it to someone who will enjoy it. It comes with an extra set of wheels w/ Phil Wood hubs. He seems willing to negotiate some on the price.

Very clean-looking Viscount w/ Shimano 600. $100, looks original, nice chrome. And dig those blue hoods!

A bit overpriced because it isn't actually full shimano 600, but it is mint. Bridgestone Mile 112. Lovely color.

Best believe it! 
@malcala622 they quite good bikes. Looking to spread the love. Some will likely be built into complete bikes with STIs/Ergos as that is what sells more today, and for the slim market of very tall riders, they appreciate a fully gone-through and set up bike with strong brakes, good wheels, and modern performance (longer cranks, better gearing, more gears) without having the bike cost a lot and/or look really awkward.

Maybe I should just keep riding the phenomenal bikes I already have, though, you know, the pull that these handmade vintage Treks has on me is considerable (I love my '81 710!).
