Talk in or out of this: Late 50's, early 60's woman's Hercules 3 speed

Hi all

I stopped in a thrift tonight and there was a pretty nice woman's Hercules 3-sp for $16.50.

It's the same style as this (stock photo) single speed, but with a Sturmy-Archer coaster 3-sp.



It's in decent shape with a tiny bit of surface rust on the rims. As a bounus it has a nice headlight and generator tail light. Overall it's in pretty good shape.

Usually, this would be a no-brainer flip, but right now my life is fairly complicated and busy. I checked ebay, and these seem to routinely bring $100 in similar condition. I could really use the cash

At most I would have to put in about 2 hours of time to clean it up. I'm inclined to check back first thing tomorrow an see if I can snag it for a flip. What would you do
