I think bill is pretty close, remember that if you sell on ebay you need to factor in the fine value fees, that could eat up 10% of anything you make.
the challenge with selling the rambouillet (which is a great bike) is that tastes have changed and it's been superceded by other models that are a little more flexible. even if you parted this out, i think it'd be tough to get to more.
