I was one of those that offered an opinion in the Raleigh thread. I think my opinion was on the lower end of the others, but it was based on my location and what I would want to pay. The OP of the Raleigh thread did not mention if they were in the position of buyer or seller. If they were a seller, I think their hopes would be put too high thinking they would get close to two grand for that bike as it would take some work to get it into the condition of the eBay bike the OP of this thread cited. On the flip side, as a buyer, they may be apt to spend more than necessary. I only offered my opinion as an Internet stranger for an Asian built Raleigh from the 80s based on my wants and location. Had the bike been a jewel from Italy and from a respected frame builder with high end components, I would have abstained.
