Need Advice on Purchase
So lately I have been wanting to learn about bikes.
I don't know where it came from but I have the urge to buy an old bike and tune it up.
I know close to nothing about bikes and need some advice.
Looking on craigs list I found this.
https://ames.craigslist.org/bik/1985366691.html
It's advertised as a 12 year old Fuji Del Rey.
This looks like what I am looking for however the price seems ridiculous for a 12 year old bike.
What are some opinions on the price of this, judging by the images?

Its worth depends entirely on market.
In Denver, its not too unreasonable to ask $100 for a bike like that.
Biggest thing, make sure the bike fits. If it fits, brakes well, shifts well, rides well, its likely to be worth $100.
Fuji is a good brand.
