I Need Another Price Check, Please...

[HARPO]

The seller has stated that the bike is a 1952 model, but that's all. From what I can see (through the rust) from the one photo, she's probably right...and I think it's a Hornet.
The tank is sitting in the basket and all appears to be there except, of course, the head light.

So I ask you guys once again...what do you think it's worth? It started out high at $250, and she's willing to come down to $125 as the bottom price. It's not far from me to go look at, but I don't even know about her bottom line, which still seems a bit much. What do you guys think???

I'd love it at $125 but probably could do $200 to get it.

NO DISRESPECT WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER

Would it be worth the space in your collection? That would be a problem for me, so I ask the question of you.

$125 is an attractive price, but girls bikes are a tough sell. Do you or your so need/want it? If not then pass on it unless you want it for parts.

 

[HARPO]

Yes, $125 is an attractive price, @Shawn Michael . It's probably going to be a parts bike for me...IF it's even in a decent enough condition when I go to see it
(waiting for her to get back to me). Should the rust and paint be worse than I'm thinking, I'll leave it where it is.

Part of the reason I considered the purchase is that the bike and I share the same Birth year.

It's about a 20 minute drive from my house, so no big deal to go see it. Its been listed a long time, and may continue to be! And space is always a question, @Goldenrod1 , since I just sold a bike to make some room. What a disease, lol!!!!

I know it won't come out as nice as this 1955 Hornet I bought a few weeks back for $200, but that's more of a killer deal that doesn't come along to often.

that one was the deal

that bike would sell in 10 minutes here in the San Francisco Bay area for $125.00, might take a day or two at $250.00

 

[HARPO]

I'm going to get it tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it's as good as I'm hoping. Oh, and the bike, I just found out, is at her boyfriends house. 35 minutes away, but on the way to my daughters house. So I'll combine two trips into one!

Photos in a day or so if I purchase it...

This one will stay where I saw it. Terrible condition...pitted chrome (what was left)...rust coming through the paint...dents...scrapes...front rim shot, etc. It was on Facebook for 19 weeks at $250, and if he drops it to $125, it will be on there an additional 19 weeks...and more. Oh well!
