Trying to figure out what kind of bike this is and if it has any value. All replies appreciated.

It’s a Mercier, it says so on the seat stay cap.

Mercier late 1970s/Early 1980s, mostly Campognolo build but some parts appear to have been swapped out.
It’s dirty and beat up so it’s not worth anything to a collector. It also doesn’t look ready to ride, so it’s not worth anything to a rider.
In the US, maybe $150 to the right buyer that knows about vintage Campognolo and wants to strip and restore the parts. In Europe, probably less because Campognolo is more common. The parts are probably worth a bit more than that stripped off the frame and cleaned up, but it’s a fair amount of work and you will damage things removing and cleaning them if you don’t know what you’re doing and make them worthless.
