Frame and saddle are only things worth anything. Frame has some really interesting tube shaping, but you should check for cracks. Saddle is an older Brooks which could be worth money to the right person. I’d pay $200, but curious to see about the rest of the group.

There are a few on ebay. Varying conditions and prices

Vintage campy record is always worth cleaning up; the rest of the bike isn’t bad either but small frame is a shame. Value depends a bit on where it is, but uk ~£250 at a guess

If everything is working perfectly on it, it could be 300 euro i guess.

One thing for sure this will need some money thrown at it for new rubber (tubular tires and brake lever hoods), new chain, fresh bar tape at the least. For it’s age, a decent quality ride.
Can’t be entirely sure but it looks to be a “half step” gearing set up popular in the 60s and 70s, with 50/45 tooth chainrings and a 14-24 freewheel. The Suntour friction shifters on the downtube were well regarded and often prefered to the Campagnolo ones that would’ve matched the rest of the parts here. These are likely not original to the bike but swapped out during the late 70s. The skewers are also fairly prized among vintage afficionados as they are the original flat levers rather than the later currved design. Those are pretty lightweight wheels with the Fiamme Ergal rims (ca.300 gram tubular rims) not sure if the hubs are Campagnolo nuovo tipo or record at a glance, but the cranks are definitely nuovo record. Bottom bracket isw almost certain to be the Italian-threaded standard and youi’ll want to check the cups for pitting and/or brinelling (grooves worn in); if so, that’s another replacement. Judging by the general lack of wear and tear they are probably okay.
It’s worth more if it’s properly restored, all the bearings overhauled and cleaned up nicely. The paint looks pretty good and it doesn’t appear to be a rustbucket. On that note though, always a good idea to strip these old Italian frames and give them a good soak inside with a rustcheck treatment.

If it has the Campy Gran Sport FD (a rectangular body with a straight push rod to the shift cage), uh, well bless your heart. OTOH, that nice bronze Record RD was lovely. When it was made, I don’t think Campy did brakes, so the Wineman stoppers aren’t a problem. The plain seatpost and clamp, however, points to a “club racer” build.
