1980's Raleigh Sports 3PD Lady(Canadian)
I recently picked up a Raleigh Sports 3 Speed. It has a Shimano Internal hub, spring seat, and cruiser style(Fenders+chainguard). The components aren't collectible it seems, but the "coffee" color seems to be kind of rare.
Here's a picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/abracadabra-/3815756464/
In superb frame condition, tires have lost their whitewall color, little if any scratches, ready to ride off the drive--How much is it worth?
Thanks everyone. I don't know how I'd live without the bike forums

Value depends on location, just like real estate.... In my area, I'd guess you could get $100 pretty easily, $150 with patience.

Could you elaborate more on location and value? You mean there's somewhere I can get $250 for it?

No way you'll ever get 250. It's Taiwan made, that eliminates hard core fans of the brand. Functionally it's not a bad bike . 150 is optimistic. It would actually make an OK commuter or all around rider. It wasn't high priced when new, little collecter value. You could josh the client to extract a higher price.
