Olmo Special
I recently got this frame with a Della Santa that I bought. It’s too small for me so I’m going to put it in the for sale section. How much do you think it’s worth? TIA.

I would pay $300 US for the set as pictured, plus the cost to ship, depending on the cost to ship. The actual value depends on your marketing skills, your location, selling locally or internationally and other factors of similar lines. Without knowing where the OP is from, it is hard to define a local price. Anyway, nice old frame set and I would jump at a chance to get such a frame around here.
