Miyata 914 value

Hi. Is $220 an OK price for this? I believe it's a 1990. No pictures of DS from the seller. He states that it's in "perfect mechanical condition". Here's a few of them:

Looks to be in good condition. If everything checks out mechanically, $220 is a good price for that bike. In Chicago, it would go for closer to $300.

It was sold by the time I checked it again yesterday.

I was hoping someone would buy it, but then I was totally bummed when it did.

thanks for the inputs! I’ll know to just go with my gut next time and beg for forgiveness later.

As a point of reference.

I got $400 for this 914SE about a month ago. That said....I put around $300 in parts in it before the sale....
