attic cleanout - bike value request
Hello, this is my first post on these forums. I just moved back to KC after 10 years in Denver, but while loading my moving van somebody stole my bike. So I raided the family's attic to see if there was anything worth trading for a new (used) bike for myself. I found a few bikes, and was hoping someone here could tell me their worth. Any info is greatly appreciated!! (due to the 12-pic limit I could only put four pics of each bike, but I have many more hi-res pics available if they'll help)
The first bike is my grandfather's Raleigh Grand Prix:




Next is something called a Numano:




And finally, my Mom's old beast - a Huffy Santa Fe with probably less than 20 miles on it:

The Raleigh is the only one with real value of the bunch. The UNI disc wheel looks wild and probably has some value on its own.
Raleigh, without the disc wheel cover: $50-75 because the condition is so bad.
Numano: $10-20
Huffy: less than $10

Also, I forgot to complain about this last time. But in the future please PLEASE only take photos from the drive-side of the bike. Not the non-drive side like all of yours so far...

Raleigh Grand Prix is worth well north of $100. Get whatever you can out of the rest. With a little work you could get over a couple hundred bucks for the Raleigh but, it probably wouldn't be worth the effort.

Bikes: Current 79 Nishiki Custum Sport, Jeunet 620, notable previous bikes P.K. Ripper loop tail, Kawahara Laser Lite, Paramount Track full chrome, Raliegh Internatioanl, Motobecan Super Mirage. 59 Crown royak 3 speed
I would say $150 or so value for the Raliegh with about a $100 of that in the wheels. The BMX mini is not high end but is kinda cool and somewhat collectible you could likely get $200-250 in it's current slightly rough shape. The other two aren't worth much.

BMXmuseum.com would be a much better place to ask value on that little Mongoose- Is it a 16" or a 20" ? The pics make it look tiny --- i have a Supergoose frame from that era and it is a pricey rascal now
Yours is pretty neat - original Snakebelly tires and all that

Why not tune up and keep the old Raleigh. Perhaps pick up a good used set of wheels and put the old ones aside for classic rides if you choose to do them. It isn't a real high-end bike, but would make a great town bike.
You'll get a bit more if you clean and tune the other bikes, but not a lot.

Thanks Clifford. The first bike I bought with my own cash was a Skyline department store bike with Shimano Positron setup, sold the bike decades ago. Sure would like that shifter setup if there is a way to do it I'd be glad to hear how.
Apparently neither of you have reached the PM posting limit (50 or 60 posts?)

I looked up "positron II" on E-Bay and got several hits including a few NOS shifters and derailleurs. I haven't paid a lot of attention to the box of steel derailleurs at our local co-op, but I did see several shifters that bolted onto the stem rather than attaching to the quill. You might check out your co-op. Old Huffys and Murray bikes show up at thrift stores and Craigslist from time to time, often for low prices (although Craigslist can have higher than expected asking prices).
