Daniel (and other CR newbies),
This is a good topic-starter, BUT - please write your emails as if your audience is deaf and dumb, with NO access to Ebay. Because in the future when people search the archives, NOBODY will know what auction #xyz means. When talking about bikes and ebay, always list model, size, and current liting price. CR is intended as an _archive_ mailing list.
Ebay Auction #7219099201 is a 1969 Schwinn Paramount, 21", chrome, campagnolo no-logo brakeset, Clement Campion Del Mondo tubulars, fluted seat post, and just ended with a price of $3650. The condition looks "close to NOS". I believe that this was sold by John Barron (velostuf, a CR list sponsor).
This is really an astonishing price, Congratulations John! Can anyone explain this high price? Most paramounts sell in the $700 - $900 range these days, with chromed ones going for $900-$1200, usually.
What gives ??
