Value is totally subjective.
Ask 10 people and you will get 10 answers (as shown with the answers already submitted).
There is only one question you need to ask only one person. Ask yourself, "How much is it worth to me?" and you will have your answer.

maybe 250-300(<-if ultramint) if and only if it was the seattle one and 52-53cm cause my g.f really likes it and score some brownie points and whatnot... otherwise i'd look for something else

$100 max, but only if I had a need for a lock-up-all-day-outside bike which I might soon.

I'd try to get it for cheap as possible since you have to come with the other components. Start low and see what price you both settle at.

That puts the frameset in an odd price zone. For that price you might as well just pony up another 150 and buy a used complete Langster off fleabay since they go for $400 all day long. It would make a lot more sense than spending $250, which I would agree the frameset is probably worth, then spending much more on wheels, crank/BB, saddle/post, bars, brakes, etc.
