I just sold mine.
same year. Same color. Same condition.
I hope you get what you are asking. It would mean the market is back.

Mods don't like discussions on "if a price is out of line."
I hope they understand you are asking me for this info and I'm not disparaging your bike or price.
I brought this bike and a 1971 Cinelli to the Seattle swap meet. I had $1500 on each of them.
The difference between your bike and mine was mine had all the panto parts. Panto chain ring, panto cinelli stem, panto seat post and panto brake levers.
Same cobalt brakes, same super record cranks. Mine had first gen C-record FD, RD and shifters. Rolls saddle which I should not have included.
Same unridden condition.
All I can find now is the CL ad, and the pics are missing now.
I forgot I swapped the crank out (part of the negotiation) and included some C-record pedals plus campy straps.
here are some pics from the day it sold.
The ad was up for 44 days before someone called and asked if I would take a grand.
I did.
Also, I hope your $500 pedals sell

Making up the numbers
Fantastic frame and incredible parts pick.
Factory 41t chainring.
Last generation SR crank arms with etched not stamped logo.
Cobalto brakes with correct levers.
Campagnolo aluminium freewheel.
Delta XL silver rims, 22mm width if I recall correctly.
Not your average NOS Molteni Merckx build.

If mine, I would probably part that out. Somebody got a sweet deal.
After BF, my plan is to move unsold items to eBay and its huge worldwide audience. Trying to skirt the dang fees, right now. lol

Right now the US dollar is incredibly strong.
the big collectors in Japan can’t afford our stuff. Same with the Euro.
for me this isn’t a business, but a hobby.
I just pulled another EMC out of a box and am building it now. Size 54. Faema colors. NOS Campy throughout.
I’ll be happy to get $2k.

Hey Zeus! How do bikes like that not get ridden!? Too small? I’d ride it anyway and also make my wife ride it.
