Help identifying a bike

I found a bike I really want but the guy is asking what I think is too much money.

It was a Schwinn, basically new but I doubt its a "New" bike, it was in a basement of a pawn shop/trading post.

It looked similar to this

Sanctuary Mens - Cruisers - Bikes | Schwinn Bicycles

But it had gears, it wasn't a fixed gear. It had a huge soft seat that looked amazing and I must have this bike I just don't know what it is and I really don't want to hassle the guy to see it again (its buried in his basement)

He was asking 250 btw and wouldn't budge even when I offered 200 cash.

i think i'd skip it. pawn shops mark up if it's a recogisable name, so even if it's just a cheap walmart schwinn (i don't know if it is or not) they'll say it's top dollar item.

with $200 i'd give craigslist a serious look.

Would someone mind telling me what the value of this mid-60's Coast King girl's coaster? The bike rack seems missing with only the brackets remaining. Thank you!

Could be but that doesn't make it worth more. If the rear drop out points toward the back it is Murray. I can't see that on the picture. I have bought better ones to use for parts and never paid over $25. Roger
