I am not sure of the relative value of such a large size Arabesque, or any bike for that matter. The Craigslist Colnago is a 61 cm size which leaves out the vast majority of cyclists. Also, the photos show the top of the seatstays and there is NO gold inlaid club. My Arabesque has the gold inlay, and in my opinion, it adds a lot to the look. Also, someone posted recently (this week) the dealer catalogue for those years and it clearly shows in the description that the Arabesque came with the gold inlay (I assume real gold). Any Colnago is a delight, but if we're talking Arabesque, I'll go for the full Monty.
