Even in great shape Huffy + 3 speed = about $150 max, There are just a tone of 3 speeds to be found that are nicer bikes in great condition that can be found well under $200.

Women's style 3 speeds have just a fraction of the value of men's style.
The auction site I am familiar with requires careful packing and shipping. I tend to sell the upper end stuff there, that makes the time/effort worth it.

I don't see anything to indicate this bike was made in Germany the paint and and Huffy 3 speed hub indicate it is a late 60's early 70's bike made in Dayton Ohio.

That bike wasn't made in Germany. It was likely made in Celina, Ohio but could have also been made in: Azusa, California (closed in the late 1970s), and Ponca City Oklahoma (closed in the early 1980s), but Huffy largely manufactured most of their bicycles in Celina.
I'd put it on craigslist and FB marketplace for $1500.00 obo.

Also I just spotted it has a original BMA decal which pretty much confirms it is a early 70's Ohio bike surprised I missed it the first time.
