I bought a a Peugeot bike in 1970 and paid a lot of money for it. Has the original tires and leather seat. It is in good condition. The serial number is 200819. How much would it be worth to sell it?

Your pics aren't very big, so it is hard to see much detail. But, your bike appears to be in nice shape.
I think it is the Mixte version of the U-08. Good riding, comfortable bikes made with high ten steel frames and average components,
In a hot market, with new tires, brake pads, and all maintenance done, it could be worth around $200. Maybe $250.
In a soft market, and needing the above items, it could be worth around $120.
Mixte frames have a following, especially French ones. The frame pump and seat bag can add to the value.
That bike sold for about $125 back in 1970. I bought one like it in 1975.
