Schwinn World Tourist
Is this a reasonable price to pay for a back-up commuter?: https://memphis.craigslist.org/bik/5853915896.html.
The owner has dropped the price quite a bit over the last couple of weeks (it was originally listed for $250), but I admit that I know nothing about these bikes. Many thanks.

Well, seeing as how that looks like a 1980 World Tourist and not a "60s bike" like the seller suggests, I'd say the guy would be lucky to get $50.

If that's what you're into, those are about the nicest riding "northroad" style bikes I've ridden. Probably Panasonic made that and offers them also as a Panasonic Tourist. IF I wanted such a bike, I'd probably try to get that one and offer 100-120, just cuz' it's CL. That bikes looks to be in great shape too.

It really looks like it's in good shape to me. Nice fenders & chain guard. It would really depend on the condition of tires, chain, seat, brake pads, pedals, & cables to me. If it didn't need too many new parts then around $100 - $150 is not unreasonable. If it's burned out then maybe $50 to $100.
