Motobecane bicycles

Looking for some info on these bikes. We want to sell them but not sure how much they should be sold for. They are 1970s motobecane folding bikes 3speed. I don't know how to add the pics

When I click on that link it's the third bike. I have my own pics but can't get them to post on here. When I try to post it says I'm not allowed.

French folders have minimal value. If you are in a large metro area, say NYC, you may find a buyer. Around here, there basically is no market for them.

+1 - I find this to be true for most small wheel folding bikes, that I have found over the years. There are some collectible examples that I am unaware of but I doubt that the the OP's will fall into that category.
