How much should I pay for a 1987 Schwinn World Sport that the seller rarely used?
The seller says to have ridden it "sporadically" and offered to sell $100 for one or $175 for both.
She has two bikes (one red and black)
She replaced the tires a year ago and hasn't ridden them since
I want a bike for exercise and possibly even commuting.
I was looking to not spend more than $50-75 on the bike.
how much do you think its worth based on the pictures and her description of them
Is it just an old bike that's not worth much?

The black one is a larger frame, so whichever one fits the best, maybe offer $80 and see what happens . Both are decent bikes .

Either one is probably worth the $175 asking price for both.
Are they both the same size? One looks bigger than the other.
Have you test ridden them both? If they are different sizes, you're going to want to keep the one that fits you better.
Offer $150 for both, then clean a little more and flip the extra bike for $175 be itself in a couple of months, leaving you with $0 in the bike you keep.

Those old step through women's Schwinns are really good value bikes. They really built them to last. They would work really good converted to upright handle bars w/racks for small basket.

Clean up the bike you choose to resell and take better photos fro the right side of the bike. Figure about $135 as the selling price.
