For reference whole kg243 builds go for anything between 25oeur and 400eur here in France in the classifieds, and when frames do come up on ebay I'm sure they're about the same.
My old one is the first up on google:
I think that whole build of mine was about 400eur.
Was a bit short for me but I liked it enough, it's a very stiff, very heavy frame, tracks nicely, bit harsh on the cobbles (wheelset could have played a part in that tbh), nice shiny paint that flakes off impressively quickly around the BB and headset.
Would buy again - but not at £550. I personally wouldn't pay more than 250eur for a really good condition one (no rust, no paint flaking off). It's a nice frame but you can get something else with a little more give, a little lighter, nicer on longer rides - particularly for £550. You can get equally nice frames for far less if you look around
