I can see that nobody took a picture, or is it just me?

Bike's in primo condition and is a 1972-ish PX10.
Fortunately, it appears to be one with traditional frame angles and not the super-steep criterium models.
Also good is the 100mm stem. That's the longest size of that style stem I've known to exist, and complements the frame size imo.
Unfortunately the leather saddle is gone.
Around $350-400 sounds about right, give or take.
Editing this post, I notice the brakeset has been replaced by Weinmann style.
Could affect pricing by a few bucks, but they're likely decent brakes and at least the Cane-Creek rubber lever hoods are readily available for cheap. The sidepull calipers really clean up the look of a PX10, but some might scoff!
Do you want to muck around with tubular tires? I didn't think so, so could make for an expensive hassle.
You'll need an English-threaded freewheel to complete a wheel conversion, or could maybe have the hubs re-laced to clincher rims (expensive in most cases).

That saddle. Ouch.
Doesn't seem like it'd be that big of a project to get the thing back to 1972 spec. The cost of certain replacements such as the vintage tubular tires would be prohibitive, though you'd get more for it in a flip if it were period-correct.
Whoever buys the bike is in for a treat. The ride is superb on the pre-73 PX-10s. And if you don't like the tubies currently mounted, you can replace those with Conti sprint 25s for additional comfort.
