I don't think starting out at $1400 is wrong as long as you are willing to negotiate down to what the market will bear and of course the condition of the frame is a major factor. What I have found from this group, if you ask for too much rather than negotiate you down they let it sit rather than offend. If on the other hand it is priced correctly it's snapped up immediately. As a general rule I figure on current used parts they go for 50% of the new value, On hard to find discontinued items like a Baggins bags the value seems to hold. On a bike frame which is rider dimensional specific yours fitting a large segment of riders (I'm guessing here) the value might be 2/3 which would put you at $1380 so if you priced it a bit lower? Really depends how quickly you want it gone. I wish I had the money to pick it up but I have too many projects hanging in the Garage.
