I just purchased a horde of over 200 bicycles HELP

[carpetman]

I ran across a old guy with 3 double car garages full of old bicycles.
I bought them. The majority are girls bikes, lots of parts.
about 10 ore prewar mens schwinns and 20 are post war schwinns
I also have daytons, roadmasters, firestones, hiwathas,and western flyers.
any way I live near Moline illinois anyone local want to help me go through and take the good parts from girls bikes and build nice boys bikes.
I want to do it right.
Or will I be better off just parting everything out, might take years.
My cell is 309 235 5420
I do have boxes of nos parts, lots of hubs, nuts bolts some S7 rims and truckloads of tires. if you are local and want to help I will trade for stuff.
I really need help figuring out what is worth selling complete and polishing up and what should be parted out
I have a few on ebay now look at item 260440998481 then click view sellers other itemsIam not out to make a fortune just end up paying for the lot and keeping a few nice bikes

swap meets are always good too The st louis meet is in jan I think and the chicago land meet is few times a year. OH and there is always the pana show in pana IL its like around june 21st every year. OR if you want to drive to ohio or michigan you can go to the memory lane swap and ann arbor

Portand Indiana scooter show starts July 14th....lots of bicycle folks there too. dont know how far away you are from there, but if you loaded up a bunch you could probably sell them all at the meet.

Here are some photos
Wondering what to do with prewar truss frame?
Should I sell as frame and fork as is or should I take the blue ladies bike and transfer parts to it?
is Dayton worth anything ? should I just part it out?
how about the simmons banner? wood wheels.
The 1948 phantom? leave as is or build it up from ladies bike?
