You'd think it would be easy enough but all too often it devolves into an argument that should be moved to the P&R forum. I'm primarily (I'd say almost exclusively) interested in Bottecchias so when I got tired of the whole issue about a year ago I started monitoring completed sales on eBay and recording the basic information: year, model, tubing type, component group, color, condition, price and any pertinant information I think might affect the price. No doubt I've missed a few but I try to check every two weeks or so. Thus I think I would qualify as an interested and knowledgeable party and can give a fair estimate of the value of a Bottecchia. Perhaps there are others doing similar things with their favorite brands. If that database ever gets started on Velobase I'd be happy to contribute the information I've collected.
