$50 to $75.
Needs a fair amount of work. Bolted rear wheel, no derailleur hanger, turkey levers, stem shifters, all signs of a low end bike.
Make sure seat post is not stuck, and inspect inside of seat tube for rust.

In addition to Bill's recommendation to check the seat post and seat tube, I'd check the stem as well. I don't like all that rust on the head set. IMHO, that bike has seen a lot of time stored outdoors. Approach with caution. It's an entry level bike as Bill said, with a nice, if not butted, Valite steel lugged frame. But that bike may need to have the head set replaced, at a minimum it's going to need some work. I'd go lower, $25-35. If you're looking for a ready to ride bike, keep looking. If you like to work on bikes, you've got a winner.

+1 Headset looks troubling, shows poor storage and long term neglect. If you need a new (replacement headset), consider going to your favorite dealer. My dealer pulled out a box of good take-offs when I needed one for a Univega. Cost me $2.
It would have to be really cheap to be worth flipping, say the thrift store $10 to $20 range. And then only if you do all the work yourself.

The chain looks rusty, also. If it is rusted together in places, you will get "skipping" as you peddle. A new chain will cost you around $10.
