I have a beautiful matching pair of 1998 Marin Stinson 4 Speed Comfort bikes (men's & woman's - both 19"). They have the Nexus Inter-4 speed and are a dream to ride. They have only been ridden a few times and have been well kept (not a spec of rust - like brand new).

How would you price a pair of bikes like these? The original value was $379 each. I have included a link with the specs below. They are in pristine condition. Front and back lights have been added along with a few other accessories.

An 11 year old bike that sold for $400 isn't going to bring much. Maybe $150 if you're lucky.

That's kind of the $ range I was thinking. Start at 300 for the pair and drop to 250 if asked.
Thanks for your response! :)
