Still learning
No photos, no buyer and no one here can appraise either. You're probably asking 2X what most Free Spirits, JC Higgins, or Ted Williams are worth.

incazzare.
In Chicago, $100 is probably about right.

If it is too low, at that price level, it would have been gone in 30 minutes or less. Dept store one speed, back when dept store was really low end. Nice paint, and in a major city like Chicago, it could sell.
I would re-sort your pictures, the first picture potential buyers see is the rear fender with the missing reflector. They may not take the time to click to the others. You need the first picture to be the best, showing the complete bike.

The price seems about right for what it is a basic single speed cruiser.
