The cable routing caused by missing housing, combined with the "26" (instead of 700) in the add title suggests seller has no idea what he or she has.
I suspect seller is also frustrated because bike shifts poorly (if at all) without that cable housing piece (I've never tried that so can't comment beyond guessing it won't work). I think someone could get that bike for a good price.

Correct for cable housing. The big pulley wheel would get dirt and gunk in it and then hang up or destroy itself (especially true of the Mountech RD that used the same lower cage design for their MTB line), often taking other things with it. When used in a road setting, they were fine. I used it on a bike or two, even a rain/winter bike. Worked a treat. It even perfectly indexed a 7-speed cassette with 7-speed Shimano Sante downtube shifters!

Not the prettiest belle at the ball, but the seller says they're willing to negotiate on price.

I was close to buying that one but its was too small and the seller claimed it had C-Record. All it had campy was the seapost I think

I have owned two Grand Sports. I paid about $125 total for the two. Both were complete bikes. I don't own either of them any longer. My personal opinion is that they are overrated.

And, it’s been flipped!
Guy bought it for $65. New price is $500, and the he didn’t even put a new saddle on it!

And it’s my size?!?! Man, I want this! But it’s just too far to drive with a toddler 
who wants to facilitate?
don’t know the model, but I see a Columbus decal, and it looks to be in fantastic condition.
someone is going to get the deal of a century on this one!

Raise your hand if you've been there.
Hey Craigslist Bikes!
I have emailed six of you about your bikes for sale as I need one very quickly.
No one has emailed me back, which seems impossible that the listing could have been sold and not taken down for all six.
Please check your spam folder.
cheers.

This seems like a good deal, a 1974 Raleigh Gran Sport with two wheelsets (one looks to be C-Record) and two saddles (one a Brooks) for $325 in Ann Arbor, MI
Is it a Gran Sport though? Looks to be something of better quality, in my opinion

They ride nice, and the paint scheme is tops. But I've never seen one with better than mediocre brazing. They were the most slapped together of boom-era Raleighs, and that's saying something.

I agree. I expected a bit higher quality. I currently own a British made bike from that era ('72 Holdsworth Professional) and there is no comparison in quality. I know the Holdsworth is a higher level bike but it is a big step up in quality.
