1960 Starlet...Worth Purchasing?...

[HARPO]

I have the opportunity to purchase this all original Starlet WITH a working horn, the owner told me. I haven't seen it in person, and I was told about scratchesin the paint and the chrome flaking off the headlight. He'll go no lower than $100, but I know in the future I'd probably flip it at some point and don't want to lose money on it.

So...should I or shouldn't I? I don't really want it, but its been over a week since I bought a bike, lol!

I’ve always made money buying bikes I truly like, enjoying them for a time and then letting them go when I must. Usually come up short when buying only to flip.

Well, no positive replies...so I'll look for something else...

Where is it?

I don't see why that wouldn't be worth $100.

I would hop right on that for $100! Very cool bike though the misses doesn’t have the same affinity for vintage Schwinns like I do...

Buy it!

With the nice condition of the tank you easily have $200-$300 in parts on there (maybe more) if you had to go the parting it out route. I think you are very safe at $100.

Decisions decisions... and I’m still on the fence with it. I would never part out of bike this complete so it’s making my decision even tougher.

You clearly don't love it enough.... let it be and hopefully someone who really falls in love with it will snap it up. Or flip it, or part it out... you get the point, lol
