Schwinn Varsity

Someone is selling this on our local craigslist. seems a little expensive, but I really don't know much about it...........is this incredibly overpriced or a decent price?

I know these are super common but just didn't know what the going rate was

Way too much in that condition, even fully rehabbed I don't think I could get $200.00 for that.

People that use E-bay to put a value on old bikes are nuts.

I think the bike should be prices at maybe $100 and because I like animals I might give them $125. Of course, I would then kick myself for paying too much.
