Honestly, I think folks on this forum are so used to seeing sub-$1000 beaters that they can't even conceive of an example selling for many times more - but I guarantee people will pay good money for a clean W123.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's a 240D. Just about the least-desirable model out of the W123 range unless you're just hard-up for slooooooow. If it were a 300D turbo, or maybe even a 300D N/A in showroom condition, we'd be on the same brainwave, but for a 240D, it would likely be a donor vehicle for a 617 transplant.
Keeping things in perspective, a 240D is never going to sell for big bucks unless just the right buyer comes along, which there aren't many of. They're always going to be destined for people using them as donor vehicles or fuel sippers by people who have more time than money (as in taking twice as long to reach their destination). This is part of what keeps their value down.
