Early 80's Kuwahara Road Bike

I just bought this bike for a good price, and today a bike mechanic told me I could sell it for much more on eBay in its current state. What do you think?

Parts:
Kuwahara frame
Ishiwata Cr Mo triple-butted tubes
Nitto stem
Nitto Olympiade handlebars
Dia-compe brakes and brake levers
Araya aluminum rims (27 x 1 1/4)
One Sansin hub, one Suzue hub
Suntour gear shift levers and derailleurs
Sugino crankset

In other words, almost completely original parts, and all of it is in excellent shape.

Thanks for your help!

Its a nice looking bike and you maybe could sell for a profit also I have not seen many nice japanese bikes like that.
If you like it why sell. I would ride it.
I'm interested in the weight also I just picked up a whole bike for $2 today with a full Shimano SLR 105 groupset but I dont know what the frame is "no decals" and looking at yours looks the same.
I was 90% sure it was a Aussie Ricardo you have made me think again.
