Can you really get $300 for bikes like these in Toronto these days? Man I couldn't get $100 on the east coast.

Good eye for detail. You're could be right about the CCM version. However, it does have a cottered crank
I think the prices are high as well.
People are hoping to cash in on the "hipster" appeal of these bikes.
