As suggested above, I'd search completed ebay sales to get an idea of price but those are at best an approximation. You may sit a long time on some of the parts depending on how you price them.
I'd give the Philadelphia craigslist a shot with the complete bike to see if you can get the price you want. That is a big city and someone may be willing to give you a very good price that way. It will save you a lot of hassle if that works out.

Yes 55 cm 1985 Corsa Extra. I would value frame and fork $400-450 for a local sale, $500 on eBay. The brakes are averaging around $250 on eBay these days. Nice job cleaning up and good pics.
Unfortunately it seems to me the vintage bike market is a little more sluggish now than when you first posted this. It's also tail end of bike buying season for many people. If you want to stay simple, maybe put it up on Philly CL, Baltimore CL for $1000 and see what happens.

It might sell in philly at 1000. I think 1000 would be the ask, and 800 the settle.

Hi! this is Eddy Merckx Criterium 1986, Columbus SLX; 1 series (~ Z789x-794x). CX = Criterium, 5 = 55cm seat tube, P = employee EMC designation, Z = fall 1984 - fall 1986, 7906 = spring / summer 1986. Mavic is valuable (but not on this frame) - team Tonissteiner used their full group in the season 1985 - if anyone would like to recreate it ...
