Mark , you did ok . The thing is , you are talking about bikes that most don’t come across often , a Cinelli and a Wizard? Plus you held onto them for 20 years or so . What the op is trying to do in today’s market is not wise if you seek profit. I don’t think that when you bought the bikes you mentioned , you intended to make money. The only bike I made money on was a Centurion Elite RS that I bought NOS for $100 , put tires on it and minor tune , rode for two years and sold for $300. I guess I made about $100 not counting my time. I sold a Medici Pro Strada last year that was in exceptional condition with Campagnolo SR components for $740 . I paid $330 for it but upgraded the bike a lot with panto bar and stem , saddle , tires, and some elbow grease . I may have broken even! Now is not the time for profit …..a great time for the enthusiasts.
