Cinelli is a very desirable marque. However, before anything, I would carefully check the downtube just in front of the shifters for damage. Whenever I see non-matching wheels, I presume the bike might have been involved in a wreck or run into a curb. This often is the reason why front wheels get replaced, as they are bent past the point of repair. I also see some paint damage in that same area, so look for a deformation or wrinkle in the tubing.
If that is a negative, the bike should bring anywhere from $800 to $1,000 or so. You can also search ebay for completed auctions on comparable frames. Lots of threads about Cinellis on this forum as well.

Beautiful Cinelli SC and it's a 89 by the first two numbers of the serial numbers!

The fork has definitely suffered an impact with the fork bent rearwards. It also looks as if teh top tube might be slightly bowed. The prices given are therefore not at all relevant to this particular bike.

Bring on the close ups.
A "rocket scientist" on the forum once told me a De Rosa I owned had been in an accident.
Squashed the value, even though two esteemed local builders refuted the eagle eye's unsolicited help.
