Univega Grand Premio 1982
Looking to sell custom Univega Grand Premio serial # K206592. Champagne color, chromoly, suntour, decent condition. A very reputable dealer suggested asking $750 but am not getting any bites locally. Any thoughts?

Sorry, but you have no photos posted, and you can't post photos until you have 10 posts. It's an anti-spam measure. So, anyone who gives you a value now is just guessing. If you're desperate for a value go to eBay and enter your bike. Then check sold listings. Won't be perfect bur better than no answer.
Go around and check out other threads and comment. You can post 5 x maximum per day until you get 10 posts, so 4 more today and 5 tomorrow.
Oops! See you have 2 threads started (each x 2 posts that are repeats). To save time, same point for other thread on Cannondale thread. Now you just get 1 more post today, unknown if a moderator will delete the doubles. If the doubles are deleted, then 5 posts tomorrow and 2 posts Thursday and you can add photos.

Location, condition, and the quality of your ad and photos, all make a big difference in how a bike sells.

I think you can load photos on the gallery tab and then add a post asking if anyone can load them on your behalf.
Alternatively, you can post a link to another site and again, ask that someone load for you.
If you do that, please ensure you photo the "drive side" or right side as you sit on the bike. Please take detailed photos, especially of the components and stickers and anything else you think might be important.

Unfortunately, even if your bike is in excellent condition, $750 is unrealistic for this bike. It's just not unique enough to command that price. No doubt, it is a fantastic bike, and if it is in excellent condition, $350 is entirely possible with the right buyer in the right market, but it will take a little time. Prices are inflated right now, as far as I understand, but I am not a high volume seller, so this is just what I have heard.
Univegas in general are very good bikes, and the Gran Premio was near the top of the line in the early 80's. Again, though, it is a high volume production bike.
EDIT: I see you described it as "custom" and "decent" condition. Custom may mean that you have some nice components on there, but it's typical that you won't be able to extract the full value of the part when installed on a bike. And "decent" condition... well, good pics will be necessary for a worthwhile valuation.
