Used Condition

What is a good price for a "vintage" used road bike in working condition, in general?

I am looking to get a used road bike. What is a good price range for an older road bike that is in good shape, in general? There is a bike shop selling "vintage road bikes in working condition" sale tomorrow, and I just want to know what would be a general price range so I don't waste money if the bikes are over priced.

Vintage road bikes have a widely varying value so it would be impossible to provide an "average value". I just bought a road bike built in 1974 for $1700.00 and it was a steal. On the other hand, a Huffy or Murray or Iverson might only be worth $10-15.

If you provide a brand and model we could help you.
