They're all completely worthless. However, as they're about my size, and I need cheap bikes to ride in the rain, I'm forwarding $10 to take them off your hand ----

Okay, okay, that is one awesome collection. Prices in this very small market depend on finding the right buyer, and the somewhat large size will probably depress the value. Any one of these prices could double if you met someone who really wanted exactly what you have. The Peugeots might really skyrocket if it were on eBay, and Pacific Rim collectors got interested. With that in mind, here are my wild but conservative guesses on value:

Davidson: $750 - $1,250. Top drawer frame maker combined with exotic anodized components should be worth more. But the black Campy parts weren't factory, and I don't see a strong collector interest in American builders except in the US, and then only if your first name is Mario. So it's value is primarily as a rider, not a wall hanger.

59 cm PX 10 with Gold parts, refinished. $400 or so, again dependent on finding the right buyer and if the repaint was done well. Stock PX 10s usually go for $300, and the gold parts bump the price up a bit.

'73 PX 10 stocker. $300 to $350.

60 cm Guerciotti/Alan, with SR and 180 mm cranks. $400-500. Alans are a specialized taste, so again you would need to find the right buyer. Parts maybe worth more w/o the frame.

62cm Colnago Super (1975), panto super record, near NOS. Probably $1,500, dending on the workmanship of the frame. Colnagos vary, and this is right in the bike boom period where the factories tried to increase production as much as possible. I'd guess higher by a couple hundred except for the big frame size.

Wish you were in Kansas City: we could share toys.
