IMO your prices are fine.
It's jus that with these type of premium frames youve got to wait a bit till someone who really wants it turns up. Hypothetically (as it's not my size), If I was after an old school keirin frame (110mm rear ones usually go for a bit more than 120mm ones for the vintage value, especially in original paint) I would've taken the first frame in a snap without a second thought. I know that the price is high but I would still take it, I will be broke for the next few weeks but as we all know you gotta do what you gotta do. I mean someone who isn't interested in a 545quid frame isn't gonna be interested in it if it drops to 500. Someone who's been after these will take it @500 or @550, or anything that isnt ridiculous, which £545 certainly isnt IMO.
In the other hand, the second frame is a more ordinary specimen and I've seen these going for anywhere between 300-400 recently in similar conditions. So it's not a bad price, but not a bargain, IMO. I guess eventually you would find a buyer at the price, but only with a bit of patience i guess? I have a feeling that there are a lot of non regular members on this forum who log in once in a while to check in the classifieds.
